🇬🇧 HM Ambassador to Kosovo
I am seriously concerned at the latest attempt by political actors to prevent Srpska Lista from participating in electoral processes. Such actions threaten to erode Kosovo’s hard-earned reputation as a multiethnic democracy and damage relations with its close partners. (1/2)

Gjakova has a special place in my heart (I will even forgive it for making its ‘10k run’ 13 long and hot kilometres…). Wonderful to be there again yesterday for the Gjakova Trail, which showed off the city’s beautiful centre & surrounding countryside. Great to bump into some good friends there too!
