Dear President Vjosa Osmani-Sadriu,

Through this congratulatory letter, Kosovo Women’s Network (KWN) is pleased to convey most sincere congratulations and wishes on your election as the President of the Republic of Kosovo.

Your election not only marks an important date for the Presidency but also gives hope and strength for further empowerment of women in politics and decision-making processes in our society. Your arrival on top of one of the three most important institutions carries itself the message toward the real possibility of increasing women’s participation in politics.

Your long-standing experience in politics and ongoing support for women’s rights in Kosovo will serve as an encouragement to all girls who want to engage in politics. It is an inspiration for our organization that works every day for gender equality and having “Women in Politics and Decision-Making” as a key program for this journey.

We recall that your election came shortly after the parliamentary elections of February 14, 2021, elections that marked the largest number of women elected in Assembly. However, the equal rights and presence of women, not only in politics and the public sphere, remain a battle that requires work and commitment toward victory.

We can only achieve this victory together. Together in solidarity.

Hence, for an equal society, besides congratulations, KWN also land a helping hand and solidarity with you during your presidential term.

Sincerely,

Igballe Rogova,

Executive Director, Kosovo Women’s Network
