Letter of Condolences

Kosovo Women’s Network (KWN) today with great sorrow received the news of the death Kosovar icon actress, Leze Qena (1935-2020).

In 2015 KWN awarded Leze Qena for ‘Courage and deeds that have motivated and empowered girls and women in Kosovo’.

Leze Qena contributed toward promoting and advancing the position of Kosovar women, through her participation in many campaigns, with an emphasis in the region of Has. She was the queen of comedy, and as such will always be honoured and remembered.

We mourn the passing of such an incredible woman and are proud that along our path, we can take pride that our roads were accompanied bywith such a powerful woman as Leze Qena was and will always be.
