Kosovo embassy in London

Global pop star Rita Ora visited her homeland of Kosovo on Wednesday for a humanitarian mission with the UN organisation Unicef, which she has been supporting since 2013.

Local media reported that she had visited Ferizaj/Urosevac and a Roma neighborhood in Fushe Kosove/ Kosovo Polje.

Rita Ora, who was born to Kosovo Albanian parents in Pristina, will headline one of the biggest events being staged from Thursday to Sunday to mark the tenth anniversary of Kosovo's declaration of independence.

"I am so excited to be joining all of you in Kosovo to celebrate the 10 year anniversary of Independence on Feb 17!" Ora wrote on Twitter on Wednesday evening.
