And Osmani thanked Trump in the publication.
"We will preserve the strong bond between Kosovo and America together, today and forever! I thank President Trump for the letter sent at the end of my mandate, which I received last night, as well as for the appreciation he has given to our work! As the President of the United States emphasizes in this letter, we look forward to continued cooperation in the years to come," she wrote.
Kosovo is part of the Peace Board, Trump's initiative to end the war in Gaza. There, Kosovo has pledged to send the Army for peace. The decision has now been authorized by the acting president, Albulena Haxhiu. The Kosovo Security Force will go to Gaza for a peace mission.
