The President of the Republic of Kosovo, Vjosa Osmani, was honoured today with the NATO Parliamentary Assembly Award for Women, Peace and Security, an award that honours the leadership, contribution and engagement of women who have advanced peace, security and democracy in their countries and around the world.
Accepting this award, President Osmani stated that this is “a special honour and an award dedicated to the people of Kosovo, and in particular to all the women of Kosovo, those who with courage, dignity and love helped build peace and achieve our freedom”.
“Our peace is built on their sacrifice and courage, while our democracy has been strengthened due to the dedication of women who stood steadfast at every step of our journey towards freedom and equality”, emphasized President Osmani.
President Osmani further added that the appreciation conveyed by the NATO Parliamentary Assembly is also a recognition of Kosovo’s efforts in advancing the Agenda for Women, Peace and Security, through the International Forum for Women, Peace and Security and the Regional Centre of Excellence, which the Presidency of the Republic has now transformed into important platforms for regional and international cooperation.
