Prime Minister Edi Rama congratulated the citizens of Kosovo on the 14th anniversary of Independence.
Rama accompanied his congratulations with a video showing moments from the Kosovo war until the declaration of Independence on February 17, 2008.

“Congratulations to all Albanians on the blessed day of Kosovo’s Independence”, says Rama.
In November 2005, the process for Kosovo’s final status officially began. Following comprehensive consultations, on February 2, 2007, the international special envoy for the status of Kosovo, Martti Ahtisaari, submitted his proposal to Pristina and Belgrade for Kosovo’s conditional independence, a step that led to the creation of an independent state. After several rounds of talks, Kosovo declared independence on February 17, 2008.

The Declaration of Independence of Kosovo was made by the then Prime Minister of Kosovo, Hashim Thaçi, members of the Assembly of Kosovo, and the President of Kosovo, at a meeting held in Pristina, on February 17, 2008.
