I joined the Head of the Central Election Commission, Kreshnik Radoniqi, and the Acting Head of the EU in Kosovo, Eva Palatova, on a visit to the vote counting centre in Pristina. I was impressed with the commitment of the counting teams and observers and interested in the new transparency measures which have been introduced. Once the election results are certified, it will be time for the political parties to do their part and establish the institutions.

It was great to be at Shell Kosovo for the launch of the new Shell V-Power. I saw firsthand how a global UK brand continues to invest for the long term and collaborate closely with local partners. British businesses work best when they listen and invest locally. Shell Kosovo is a fantastic example of how long-term partnerships can build trust and deliver real results.

I have enjoyed our morning visiting polling stations 🗳️ in North Mitrovica, South Mitrovica, and beautiful Zubin Potok. I look forward to continuing in other parts of Kosovo, witnessing people exercising their democratic right to choose.

I started the day by visiting the Central Election Commission in Pristina to meet CEC Chair Kreshnik Radoniqi. I thanked him and his team for the excellent job they did in the previous election cycle. I met the IT team, duty Prosecutor and Kosovo Police Coordinator. I thanked them for their teams’ efforts to make today’s elections go smoothly. There are so many people working tirelessly behind the scenes today to ensure a calm and efficient democratic process. Now it’s up to the people of Kosovo to head out and vote!

I was proud to join the 10th Pride Parade in Pristina today 🌈

Today and every day, we stand alongside Kosovo’s LGBTQ+ community and allies, to celebrate equality, dignity, and to affirm that fundamental rights are for all. Everyone should be able to live freely and without fear.

🇬🇧 remains a steadfast supporter of human rights and inclusivity in 🇽🇰 and around the world. It’s inspiring to see so many voices united in support of love, respect, and diversity.

At yesterday’s opening of Pristina Pride Week, we celebrated and reiterated the rights of LGBTIQ+ people. Protecting and promoting these rights is a key indicator of Kosovo’s commitment to shared values on human rights and an inclusive society. The UK will continue to work with institutions and civil society in Kosovo to champion them.

Wonderful weekend exploring Kosovo’s natural foods and stunning beauty with my sister Clare Hargreaves. Many thanks to Jeton Jagxhiu and Eroll Bilibani for introducing us to sharr cheese, fresh lamb and great burek in Brod / Dragash. And thank you to Bella Agroturizem in Rahovec and N’Bjeshke in Zaplluxhe - both wonderful places to eat and visit. The climax was this fabulous hike amongst the spring wildflowers of the Sharr.
