It was an honor to help coordinate the visit of the President of the Republic of KOSOVO, Her Excellency Vjosa Osmani, to the City of Fort Worth.

It's always exciting to have a sitting Head of State visit your city (and I managed to serious-face sneak into the background of the first picture behind the President and Ambassador).

Our visit to Bell was top notch and included a helicopter tour of Fort Worth, and Kristin Jaworski rolled out an incredible red-carpet welcome in the the Fort Worth Stockyards.

Thanks to Councilmembers Gyna Machelle Bivens, Alan Blaylock, and Carlos Flores for their leadership in planning a superb exchange for our friends from Kosovo.

Special thanks to Ambassador Ilir Dugolli from the Embassy of Kosovo in Washington, DC for his friendship.

And a big thank you to our Albanian diaspora community who came out came out to support this exchange and strengthen U.S.-Albania relations. Fort Worth is honored to play a role in supporting this key binational partnership.
