Haxhiu Clarifies Vehbi Miftari’s Departure from Vatican Mission
Kosovo’s Ambassador to the Vatican, Vehbi Miftari, has confirmed his departure from the role, following receipt of a decree from President Albulena Haxhiu. This confirmation came directly from Haxhiu herself, clarifying the circumstances surrounding Miftari’s transition. Haxhiu explained that the process initiating Miftari’s return was initiated in 2025.
She emphasized that the situation does not constitute a dismissal, a common interpretation of diplomatic transitions. “Diplomatic roles often involve rotations and the fulfillment of state needs,” Haxhiu stated. “Returning from a mission is a standard practice within the field.”
The President indicated that the procedure for Miftari’s release began last year.
She further detailed that the decision aligns with established protocols for diplomatic personnel, prioritizing the functionality of the Kosovo Mission in accordance with legal requirements and the nation’s interests. This clarification addresses initial reports regarding Miftari’s status and confirms that the move was a planned and procedural return, overseen by President Haxhiu.
