Albanian Prime Minister, Edi Rama congratulated today the citizens of Kosova on the 15th anniversary of Independence.

“Happy Independence,” writes Rama in a post on social networks.

In November 2005, the process for the final status of Kosova officially began. After comprehensive consultations, on February 2, 2007, the international special envoy for the status of Kosovo, Martti Ahtisaari, submitted his proposal to Prishtina and Belgrade, for the conditional independence of Kosovo, a step that led to the creation of an independent state. After several rounds of talks that were held, Kosova was declared independent on February 17, 2008.

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