Havenier: We want to see Kosovo succeed and progress, committed to partnership

US Ambassador to Kosovo Jeffrey Havenier has officially completed his three-year mandate today, holding his last farewell meeting with the country's president, Vjosa Osmani.

During his statement to the media, Houvenier stressed that his mission has ended with the same act that began, placing a wreath of flowers at the statue of former President Ibrahim Rugova, honoring the figure and values for which he stood.

He also reiterated the United States' commitment to Kosovo and expressed his conviction about the country's potential and bright future.

I want to thank the people of Kosovo. It has been the task of my dreams to serve as a US ambassador here for three years and to have this opportunity to work together with the people of Kosovo to help advance the country. The United States is committed to our partnership.

We want to see Kosovo succeed and progress. When I think about what this country was like when I started working for it in the late 1990s, when I think about what it was like in the time of independence and when I think about what it is now, there is no doubt about the progress and the capacity of the people of Kosovo, about their sustainability to realise their vision of a sovereign, independent, democratic, multiethnic, prosperous and successful state.

It has been my pleasure and honor to play a small role in supporting this process. Along with the American people, I wish you all every success. I will leave as an even stronger friend of Kosovo than I was when I arrived”, He posted Havenier before the media.
