06 November 2008 Pristina – Muhamet Hamiti, Kosovo’s first ambassador to Great Britain has been invited to Buckingham Palace in London for a formal welcoming by Queen Elizabeth II.
Foreign Minister David Miliband who met with senior Government officials in Pristina on Wednesday commented on the event during his address to Parliament.
Miliband said that Queen Elizabeth’s welcoming is meant to fully engage Hamiti within the diplomatic community in London.
Hamiti took up diplomatic responsibilities in London last month, along with nine other selected ambassadors posted in the United States and major European capitals.
Great Britain was among the first countries to recognise Kosovo’s independence. It has also showed full support during Kosovo’s state-building.
Kosovo declared its independence from Serbia on February 17. Until now it has been recognised by 52 states around the world.
