The President of the Republic of Kosovo Vjosa Osmani, pursuant to the Constitution of Kosovo, has decided that Wednesday, July 3rd 2024, will be declared a day of state mourning, in honour of the late colossus of Albanian letters, the world-famous Albanian writer Ismail Kadare.
The state mourning will be observed all day on Wednesday, the day when the late Ismail Kadare will be buried, and the State Protocol is tasked with undertaking all the necessary acts in the implementation of this decision.
President Osmani, in June of last year, bestowed the writer Ismail Kadare with the “Hasan Prishtina” Order, among the highest Orders given by the Republic of Kosovo to the most outstanding personalities of the nation. Meanwhile, in August, Madam President announced via a decree that the world-famous Albanian writer Ismail Kadare was granted the citizenship of the Republic of Kosovo.
