President Osmani, caretaker Prime Minister Kurti, members of the diplomatic corps, friends and colleagues gathered to celebrate the United States' 249th Independence Day. Chargé d’affaires Anu Prattipati welcomed guests at the event, expressing gratitude to volunteers, sponsors, and the Embassy team for their efforts in organizing the celebration.
Prattipati shared her experience of celebrating the Fourth of July in various countries and expressed her honor in serving as Chargé d’affaires in Kosovo. She highlighted the significance of this role and praised Kosovo as a remarkable community.
The event commemorated the signing of the Declaration of Independence in 1776 by America's Founding Fathers. Prattipati emphasized their commitment to equality and governance derived from consent. As America approaches its 250th anniversary, she noted upcoming celebrations marking significant U.S. anniversaries.
Recently, the U.S. Army celebrated its 250th birthday. The Army also participated alongside Kosovo Security Force in Defender 25, Europe's largest U.S. Army exercise hosted by Kosovo. This collaboration symbolizes a strong security partnership between both nations.
Prattipati acknowledged Kosovo's alignment with U.S policy priorities and thanked them for their trust. Together they have addressed issues like cybersecurity threats and antisemitism while working against nuclear proliferation. Additionally, Kosovo has supported U.S efforts to secure borders.
Economic ties between America and Kosovo are growing with new American businesses opening in Kosovo recently—a testament to their expanding commercial relationship.
Reflecting on this partnership's meaning, Prattipati stated that America's strength helps make partners stronger too—highlighting how economic growth enhances regional stability through security collaboration with examples like those seen within these partnerships today across different sectors including commerce or defense cooperation initiatives such as joint military exercises conducted
