Honourable participants,

I am deeply honoured to, today, on this eighth anniversary of the declaration of Independence, honour all personalities and activist who have provided exceptional contribution in order for us to celebrate as every other free nation- our statehood.

This is the most marked day in Kosovo’s history, for which many generations have sacrificed, generations who through their ideals for freedom and independence have laid the foundations of the new state, of an important factor not only of peace, but also of security and stability in the region and beyond.

The state of Kosovo is the blood, the seat and the engagements of all patriots, who loved their country and gave it strength to build upon the ruins left by a long and heinous war, of all those who laid the foundations of the independent state, of equal citizens, a state with clear aim to become an inseparable part of the advanced world.

Through this ceremony of the awarding of honours, together, we, the institutions and the people of Kosovo, praise, honour and remember the immense contribution of all of you, laureates and family members, to our common good.

Kosovo is our country, country which can be further advanced and developed only through togetherness. It is us that need to pave the road further ahead, the road which was commenced by those who sacrificed, to make Kosovo a democratic state in which law and order prevail, where citizens can find their perspectives without having to look elsewhere; where understanding is the core of solutions and where our love for the country becomes our strength for the future.

Dear laureates and family members,

May you carry with pride and honour, from one generation to the next, this awards and presidential medals, as proof of highest state appreciation for your work and contribution to the fatherland.

God bless you!

God bless Kosovo!
