Kosovo flag placed at Russia's top, targets seven continents

It is the first to have spread the flag of the Republic of Kosovo at the highest peak in Russia, in Elbrus, on August 5th of this year, which is the highest peak in Europe. Among the few female mountaineering from Kosovo, the flag aims to place on the world's seven highest peaks.

Arineta Mula, a girl from Peja, has decided to climb every continent in the world. Not just climbing, reaching the highest peaks. The total seven, intended to step on as Kosovo's first climber. For this, Mula has already launched a global-sized initiative in mountaineering, “SevenSummits”

In an interview for KosovoPress, Mula shows her plans and shows what it means to be a climber in Kosovo. Until he said that Elbrus remains the best experience ever.

The next “Exped was the climb of the highest peak in Europe, which is Elbrus. Of course I know that Kosovo's passport is not recognised for that reason I have been waiting a year to get my Albanian passport, following an official request made by Albania's ambassador here in Kosovo, then the president of the Republic of Albania gave us Albanian citizenship... [065040 HINA 0650] The institutional support hasn't been missed, I said the day before I left the prime minister's office I took the flag of the Republic of Kosovo, which I even taped to the top”, Mula said.

Mula explains why she chose the top of Russia, and she did so as a guide/giude.

<x0) SevenSummits” is called the project or the climbing of the 7 highest peaks on the 7 continents of the world, it's still not done in our country then I thought it would go, and probably take the initiative to start planning and to start up all the highest peaks of the world”, she said.

The mula had started walking to the end of 2013, where for a year she walked through the mountains inside Kosovo. Two years later, her first expedition was in 2015, and she ascended Monte Blanc.

It's not about getting to where I am, but I think everybody should find themselves at something. I have naturally found myself in the mountains, I think to spend my entire life in the mountains now I don't know what the consequences of life can be, but my priority is on mountains”, she said.

Last year, Arinata Mula and Nazmi Hasanramaj as part of the team from the Pristina Alpin Club had passed over Everest.

At the same time, there had been communities of Abraham and another team. There has been a lot of controversy as to which team had first arrived in Everest, which answer Mula has given for Kosovo Press, for the first time.

The truth about this is that on May 22, 2017, I think 3 people have arrived to mark the flag - climbing history of the Republic of Kosovo, which is that we were divided on 2 expeditions, our expedition that was Nammi Hasanramaj and me, and the other expedition that was Abraham's butterfly. The butterfly means it's true that it came before us but we're going to meet the last spine, while it was going down, we were going to the top to see the top. But anyway, I think there are three people who have made this historic date because the third of us have successfully climbed the Kosovo flag, and I think we've set it up, we've marked a historical date”, it said of Kosovas Press.

In addition to Monte Blanc, Everest and Elbrus, Mulaka already adjacent Triglaven to Slovenia, as well as Musalan in Bulgaria, as well as the highest peak in Africa, Kilimanjaron.

One achievement she already singles out is the climb of Matterhorn, which is one of the most technical climbs in Switzerland, which she considers to be the seal of success because she had arrived there for eight days, the top supposed to climb for four weeks.

There's something I can point to that fear I don't think, it's stupid if you say there's no fear on a mountain, that more is fear of responsibility than you left it, that's fear of family responsibility, society, people who remember that you were followed and you need to turn around well for them to wait for you. To get some fear in the sense that you have to go back well and it's not worth your risk, so at any point I don't risk myself, the tin with menajo or energy or anything that came back well, that's what's the most important”, she said.

Mula, which always happens to both the Kosovo and Albanian flag in the rising mountains, has shown Kosovas as well as one of them the most enjoyable in the mountains that happen.

It's not easy to keep both of our flags on time, but it's the motive to hold our time, but everybody makes me feel special. With Albania's banner, I feel Albanian, and because we are a new state we are learning with no red and black flag all the time and feeling for our country normally making me an Albanian flag of the Republic of Albania that I am very pleased to freeze and continue to raise Albania's flag. As for the other side, the flag of the Republic of Kosovo is creating an identity of our own now we have this flag and I think it should respect our flag. For years now we have this flag and I feel respect, I feel the identity of the state of Kosovo with this flag. It means there are two particular feelings I can't share with”, she said.

This year Mula will start working even with a guide or a path called the Balkans or the Balkan Maya for the renowned mountain company “Balkan Natural Environment”.

It's actually in one of them, with an English group that's gonna last 10 days.
