Just one more thing…

My time as British Ambassador in Kosovo has come to an end. The warm welcome of the Kosovan people to a British Ambassador has made working and living here unlike any other posting I have done. This is a special place that deserves success.

Thank you to Arjun, Head of UNHCR in Kosovo, for an excellent farewell lunch! Ghurka food is a shared passion for the British and Nepalis alike!

Thank you for honouring me with the key to the city of Pristina, Mayor Rama. You embody the strong links between our two nations and I promise to visit for a macchiato soon! 🇬🇧 🇽🇰 🔐
