Dua Lipa Is an Honorary Ambassador of Kosovo

Following her headlining gig at Lollapalooza, Dua Lipa was also named an honorary ambassador of Kosovo.  Dua, the daughter of Kosovo Albanian parents, attended a ceremony on Friday (Aug. 5), held by President of the Republic of Kosovo, Vjosa Osmani.

“Aside from being a world-class and a once-in-a-generation musician, you are also a role model for many girls and women across the world as a forthright and conscientious activist, but above all, what you have done for the people of Kosovo, in raising awareness of the Republic of Kosovo is unmatched and truly invaluable,” Vjosa shares about the singer.
