Vjosa Osmani seeks recognition of Kosovo from the Vatican

The President of the Republic of Kosovo, Vjosa Osmani, was received today at the Holy See, in an audience with Pope Leo XIV at the Apostolic Palace in the Vatican.

She, through a video message, said that this is a very important day for relations between the Republic of Kosovo and the Vatican. The head of the country hopes that the long-awaited decision on recognition by the Vatican will be made, which would contribute to peace and stability in our region and on the European continent. Osmani said that she has been invited by Pope Leo XIV to visit Kosovo.

"I expressed the hope and faith of the entire people of Kosovo that the Vatican will finally make the decision to recognize the Republic of Kosovo, recognizing the long suffering of our people to live freely, independently and in democracy," Osmani declared.

According to her, such a decision would contribute not only to the well-being and success of Kosovo, but also to peace and stability in the region and on the European continent. She also emphasized Kosovo's historical contribution, mentioning important figures such as Gjergj Kastrioti Skanderbeg and Saint Teresa, as well as the role of Dardania in the history of Christianity and European humanism.

President Osmani announced that during the visit she conveyed the greetings of the people of Kosovo for Christmas and the New Year, and invited Pope Leo XIV to visit the Republic of Kosovo.

"I invited His Holiness to visit Kosovo, with the hope that such a visit will take place as soon as possible," Osmani said from the Vatican's main square.
