“Levitating” singer Dua Lipa was recently named as an honorary ambassador of Kosovo.
She was born in London, but both of her parents were from Kosovo. The family relocated to Pristina, the capital of Kosovo after it declared its independence in 2008. Lipa ended up moving back London when she was 15 years old to pursue her music career.
The three time Grammy winner posted a string of pictures to her Instagram account of her with President Vjosa Osmani-Sadriu while she was accepting the title.

“Yesterday afternoon I was awarded the title of Honourary Ambassador of Kosovo by our Madame President @vjosa.osmani,” she wrote. “It’s an honour and a privilege to be able to represent my country all over the world and to continue my work and efforts globally to see that we leave our mark and make a difference. The youth of Kosovo deserves the fight to visa liberalization, freedom to travel and to dream big. Thank you.”
