I had the pleasure of meeting Prof. Dr. Ardian Jusufi (@ArdianJ_Lab), who has achieved tremendous success in robotics and artificial intelligence, particularly in the field of physical AI. Most recently, he was shortlisted for the Falling Walls Foundation’s Global Call for Science Breakthroughs 2026 in recognition of his pioneering work in biomechanically informed soft robotics. He's currently based at the University of Zurich and affiliated with Macquarie University.

Dr. Jusufi has also spent considerable time in the United States, working at renowned institutions such as UC Berkeley and Harvard.

We discussed Europe’s opportunities in this field, as well as specific ways to advance robotics in Kosova.

Dr. Jusufi represents a crucial pillar of Kosova’s future growth: a member of our diaspora who has succeeded abroad and is committed to contributing to the development of our country. We look forward to a fruitful collaboration.

Sunny Hill Festival, organized by @DUALIPA, has become one of Kosova’s key cultural events, attracting more than 100,000 visitors last year alone.

As the festival begins today, we wish everyone a wonderful and memorable experience. Enjoy the music, the atmosphere, and all that Prishtina and Kosova have to offer.

It was a pleasure to meet Shasime Osmani, a recently elected member of the Bern Cantonal Parliament of Albanian origin.

Shasime, who is also studying law, is a vocal advocate for education and social justice. We discussed the dual education system, inspired by the Swiss model, which has been successfully introduced in Kosova and continues to expand.

Our diaspora in Switzerland, and elsewhere, represents a vital source of inspiration, knowledge and growth for our country.

Authorities of the Republic of Kosova have begun excavating a mass grave in the village of Kalludër, in the municipality of Zubin Potok. The grave is suspected to contain the long-concealed remains of a group of 23 intellectuals from Mitrovica, doctors, professors and human rights activists, who were abducted and disappeared on April 19, 1999.

More than a quarter of a century after the end of the 1998-99 war, the anguish continues for the families of 1565 victims of enforced disappearance, including more than 100 children. Serbia’s continued obstruction of efforts to uncover the fate of these innocent people will not deter the Republic of Kosova from pursuing truth and justice. We remain unwavering in our commitment to locating every missing person, uncovering every concealed grave, and holding those responsible accountable, so that the families of the disappeared may finally find a measure of peace and solace.

My deepest condolences to Prime Minister @takaichi_sanae and the people of Japan after yesterday's deadly earthquake in Kumamoto Prefecture. The victims, their families, and all those affected are in our thoughts today. The people of Kosova stand with you as search and rescue efforts continue.

Today I welcomed France's Minister for Europe, Benjamin Haddad, to Kosova.
His visit builds on the working lunch I held with President Macron at the Élysée Palace on 17 March, and today our shared commitment took concrete form with the signing of five agreements between Kosova and France.

The agreements on extradition and on mutual legal assistance in criminal matters strengthen cooperation between our justice institutions in fighting crime and ensuring accountability. A €60 million credit line and the new France–Kosova Committee will support infrastructure investments and the Prishtina 2030 Mediterranean Games and their lasting legacy. And an administrative agreement on the teaching of French expands opportunities to learn the language and brings Kosova closer to the Francophone world.

We discussed Kosova's European integration, regional security and deepening our partnership. I asked for France's support for Kosova's path toward the EU, NATO and other international organizations. 🇽🇰🇫🇷

Many congratulations to the United Kingdom's new Prime Minister, @andyburnham. I look forward to continuing our governments' close cooperation on a wide range of shared values and priorities, including promoting trade and investment, defending democracy against the malign influence of Russia and its proxies in South East Europe, and increasing collaboration and coordination between the Kosova Security Force and the British Armed Forces.

Today is Mandela Day, marked on Nelson Mandela’s birthday to honor his extraordinary life of service.

A lawyer, dissident, statesman, and Nobel Peace Prize laureate, Mandela became South Africa’s first Black President after spending 27 years in prison, including many years on Robben Island. He entered prison at the age of 44 and was released at 71.

Mandela changed and evolved throughout his life, yet remained faithful to his deepest convictions and to the values of equality, dignity, and freedom. At the heart of his struggle was the reality that more than 80 percent of South Africa’s population had been denied full rights under apartheid.

He changed the course of his country and left a legacy that continues to inspire people to remake the world into a more just place. During a powerful and now-famous three-hour speech at his 1964 trial, he said:

“I have fought against white domination and I have fought against black domination.
I have cherished the ideal of a democratic and free society in which all persons live together in harmony and with equal opportunities.
It is an ideal which I hope to live for and to achieve. But, if needs be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die".

I met with the Swiss Ambassador to Kosova, Jürg Sprecher, for a farewell meeting as he concludes his term in our country.

Switzerland has long been a close ally and partner of Kosova, from providing humanitarian assistance in the 1990s to supporting economic development and security cooperation across a wide range of sectors, including education, climate action, water infrastructure, and trade. This relationship is further strengthened by our diaspora in Switzerland, which plays an immensely important role in Kosova.

I thanked Ambassador Sprecher for his significant contribution to strengthening bilateral ties, including the launch earlier this year of the new Swiss Cooperation Programme for Kosova for 2026–2029. We discussed, in particular, opportunities for further collaboration in the economic and technology sectors.

A pleasure to welcome @OSCESecGen Feridun H. Sinirlioğlu for a productive meeting today at the Office of the Prime Minister. We discussed a range of topics, including our Government's strong commitment to human rights, and Kosova's robust economic growth and democratic advancement over the past few years, according to a number of objective and independent indicators. We agreed to continue the positive cooperation between the Kosova Government and the OSCE, especially in the areas of the rule of law, justice, and security.

[Albin Kurti @albinkurti]

Congratulations to President @EmmanuelMacron and the people of France on Bastille Day. May the values we celebrate today continue to resonate across Europe for generations to come. The strong and deepening friendship between our two countries lends this occasion particular meaning and gives us much to celebrate together.

America turns 250 years old. This is a celebration of the birth of the country, but also of what changed the course of history. It is a tribute to the country's sacred text, a profound statement of values, and to its often, and rightfully, quoted words: "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."

But it is also a recognition of what America has become since: a place where people found not only refuge, but also the opportunity to live their lives more freely and more boldly than elsewhere.

Among them have been many from Kosova, who over the centuries fled political persecution and found the chance to live the life they deserved, but had been denied elsewhere.

The ideals proclaimed 250 years ago did not remain within America's borders. They found resonance in Kosova's own struggle for freedom and self-determination, and, most importantly, in the unwavering support of the United States for our fight to secure those very rights.

We honor the country whose contribution to our own independence, and to our own fight for "unalienable rights," has been so deeply woven into our history that the aspirations of human freedom expressed by the United States have become our aspirations as well.

Happy Fourth, and happy 250th, America!

I had the pleasure of participating, at the invitation of former Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou, in the 28th SYMI Symposium in Greece, this year titled “Achilles’ Wrath and Cassandra’s Warning: Empowering Democracy and Taming Power.”

The Symposium brought together diplomats, policymakers, intellectuals, activists, and representatives of international organizations to discuss some of today’s most pressing global challenges, from peace and security in an increasingly multipolar world to attacks on democracy and human rights, ongoing wars, and the impact of artificial intelligence.

I also took part in the panel “Frontline Democracies: The Balkans, Ukraine and More,” where I emphasized that Europe begins at home for every country and ends at the front lines in Ukraine; that today’s struggle is not an external clash of civilizations, but an internal clash of conscience against reaction; and that autocrats are people born in the wrong century, whose premodern tendency for a mercantilist monarchy cannot prevail over the democratic republic.

Today marks the International Day of Reflection and Commemoration of the 1995 Genocide in Srebrenica, where more than 8,000 Bosnian men and boys were killed by Serbian forces, the worst massacre in Europe since the Holocaust.

For Kosova, this commemoration is rooted in shared pain, but also in profound recognition of the extraordinary resilience and moral strength demonstrated by the people of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Genocide is not an accidental deviation of history, but the consequence of a policy that turned domination into a political project, propaganda into preparation for violence, and the state apparatus into an instrument of ethnic cleansing. Its denial remains an equally deliberate and dangerous strategy.

May Srebrenica remain in our collective memory as a name that embodies an enduring truth and as a call for justice that never grows old.
