Sharing a slew of photographs featuring the Levitating singer beaming with pride as she received her citizenship, Osmani penned, “Welcome home, Dua!”
She continued, “Special honor that today, by presidential decree, to grant citizenship of the Republic of Kosovo to Dua Lipa, one of the most important cultural and artistic personalities in the history of our country.”

In her statement, Vjosa Osmani went on to recognize that Dua Lipa has been and continues to be the country’s one of the most powerful voices on the world’s biggest stages, making history with her achievements and becoming an inspiration to millions of people around the globe.
“Our gratitude is endless for all that Dua has done and continues to do for Kosovo, for our youth, for our art and for the international image of our country. Dua, Kosovo is always proud of you!” she concluded.
Dua Lipa was born in London to Kosovo-Albanian parents, Anesa Lipa and Dukagjin Lipa, who had immigrated from Pristina to the U.K.
She was granted Albanian citizenship in November 2022 in recognition of her global success and role in elevating the country’s culture internationally.
