Prime Minister Ramush Haradinaj Lays Wreath at the Coffin of Otto von Habsburg

During a visit to Vienna, in which Ramush Haradinaj also held talks with several representatives of the Austrian Federal Government, the Prime Minister of Kosovo laid a wreath at the coffin of Otto von Habsburg.

Haradinaj visited the final resting place of Otto von Habsburg on 19 November 2018, one day before what would have been his 106th birthday. The flowers of the wreath are in the Austrian colours.

On 20 November, the Paneuropa Movement commemorated Otto von Habsburg on his 106th birthday.

Prime Minister Ramush Haradinaj is the first head of government of a European country to pay this tribute to Otto von Habsburg. The two politicians had met for talks in Kosovo on several occasions and maintained good and regular contact. In his hometown of Deçan, Haradinaj initiated a “Habsburg Square”.

As early as 19 November, the Prime Minister of Kosovo, Ramush Haradinaj, laid a wreath in memory of Otto von Habsburg.

During his visit to the Imperial Crypt, Prime Minister Haradinaj paid tribute to Otto von Habsburg’s commitment to the independence and sovereignty of his homeland, while also emphasising the long tradition of excellent relations between the Albanians and Austria, dating back to the Habsburg era.
