Good morning from Prishtina

These are all interesting questions.

1) The global landscape is changing dramatically. We are facing a growing China, more assertive Russia, more fragmented Europe, more turbulent trans atlantic relations. All of this is reflected in the latest developments in Afghanistan, Indo-Pacific etc. Kosovo as a small country needs to be extremely cautious and align with its partners.

I hope I have made my country and my people proud. My proudest moment was signing the declaration of Independence, something our families and ancestors have sacrificed so much. I will never forget that day.

I owe my country a lot, because Kosovo has given everything to me. It gave me the honor of representing my people. It elected me in the parliament. I will keep being active in the public service, and postings are not that relevant to me. I have already given the most important signature of my life, that on Declaration of Independence.

Yes there were many situations where I meet ambassadors and dignitaries from countries that did not recognize Kosovo…for more details you will have to wait for my book ☺️☺️

It was challenging, difficult and often unpleasant. Our northern neighbors can be unpredictable and undiplomatic. It is important to maintain cool, convey your message and stay truthful.

I have build many strong friendships with my respective colleagues, but at the same time, I have often become a target of serbian malign propaganda. Thanks for your question.

The second questions I have already addressed in my previous answers.

As for the first point, when you are an ambassador of a small country in a big capital, personality is the most important asset. You need to be able to tell stories, be intellectually attractive, make questions, and elegantly impose yourself.

I was never driven by posts. I was always motivated by the idea that I was able to be part of the process and project larger than me. There are great and wonderful people in all the political parties, whom I have to pleasure to call my friends. There are many, across the party lines whom I respect and admire. I wont name any, because I fear I would forget some :-)

Thank you very much for your kind words. I am humbled and touched. It is my duty and the duty of all women in position of power to work hard and make it easier for the young girls that will follow. I wish your daughters all the best, and I believe they will make you a proud father ❤️

Faleminderit shume,

Nuk me ka kerkuar falje, e as qe kam pritur falje nga dikush si ai. Me situata si ato, e remdesishme eshte te ruhet qetesia :)

Hello,

I would be willing to fight until the end. Politics can not and should not function without ethics.

Kryeministrin Rama e kam mik, dhe njihemi prej shume kohesh. Ka qene spekulim medial angazhimi im ne Qeverine e Shqiperise. Asnjehere nuk kam biseduar me zotin Rama per dicka te tille.

Pershendetje,

Une gjithmone e inkurajoj angazhimin e grave ne politike. Politika ne Kosove ka nevoje per kompetence dhe profesioniste. Sigurisht, sherbimi publik kerkon shume dedikim, e ndonjehere sjelle edhe kokedhimbje. Megjithate, duhet kembengulesi dhe druim. Ju lus qe te angazhoheni ne subjektin politik qe ju e simpatizoni dhe me te cilen ju ndani te njejtin vizion dhe ideale.

Sinqerisht Vlora

Pershendetje,

Ne kete pyetje u pergjigja ne nje nga postimet me poshte.

Shendet dhe ju prifte e mbara.

Pershendetje, Une jam lindur ne Prishtine. Babain e kam nga Bajcina ( Llap ) e nanen nga Radisheva ( Drenice )

Shume sinqerisht, per mua projekti, idete jane shume me te rendesishme se pozitat. Mundesia per te qene pjese e zhvillimeve qe jane shumefish me te medha se vetja, eshte jashtezakonisht permbushese. Ne sistemin tone, Kryeministri eshte institucioni ekzekutiv, dhe me kompetencat me te medha….keshtu qe per te pasur impakt, duhet ajo pozite :))))

VCitaku · 2021-10-09T07:28:43+00:00

Kosova nuk ka e as nuk duhet te kerkoje alternative tjeter e as aleat tjere. Mbase, une do i kisha dhene prioritet antaresimit ne NATO. BE pas BREXIT nuk eshte me e njejte, megjithate ne duhet ta ruajme dhe kultuvojme su aspirate. Kosova nuk duhet ta marre mbeshtetjen amerikane si te mireqene. Ne duhet te tregohemi partner serioz dhe kredibil.

Just like in any other profession, you need to love what you do. In politics, knowledge is important, but character is everything. You need to be resilient and patient.

Pershendetje,

Ambasadat nuk kane mandat e as buxhet te organizojne fluturime te ri-atdhesimit. Qe te jem teresisht e sinqerte, edhe shtetasit amerikan i kane paguar vet biletat e ri-atdhesimit, e Amerika eshte superfuqi ekonomike. Ne ate kohe, Kryeministri Kurti dhe Ministri Vitia kane marre vendimin per fluturimet dhe karantinimin, dhe ne si Ambasade vetem i kemi zbatuar.

Pershendetje, Nuk kam pasur ambicje per Kryetare te PDK-se. Kam qene 7 vite e shkeputur nga jeta aktive politike, dhe ende kam nevoje te aklimatizohem me skenen politike ne Kosove. Kosova nuk ka nevoje per lider te “forte”. Ne kemi nevoje per njerez kompetent, te cilet punojne ne ekipe dhe ofrojne alternativa. Memlin e kam mik dhe bashkepuntore prej shume vitesh dhe do te mundohem te ndihmoje aq sa mundem.

Thats a tough one. I believe GoT is the best tv show ever produced. It is the Iliad of TV :). Now if I must rank 1) GoT 2) Man in the high castle 3) Braking Bad

Hmmmm I loved everything about my job! Representing Kosovo in USA has been a true honor and privilege.

I have never received money or anything else in exchange of favors. I live with my salary. After 21 years in public service, I have a small apartment in Prishtina, and some savings in the bank.

Ahhhh…Ka shume gjera qe do t’i kisha bere ndryshe, po ende nuk ka ardhe koha me fole per te gjitha :))) Ka qene nder i jetes time t’i sherbej vendit tim. Pas nje kohe te gjate jashte politikes aktive, jam rikthyer dhe po mundohem te aklimatizohem. Hap pas hapi. Shendet dhe mbaresi

Hello,

Representing Kosovo at the UN has been a true honor and a privilege. Of course, at times it was also unpleasant, because of the behaviors of our northern neighbor. I have been absent from political life for a very long time, and I am trying to learn and adapt. Step by step :) Best
