IAWP Member Elected President of Kosovo
IAWP Member Appointed President of Kosovo The IAWP is delighted to announce that one of its members, Atifete Jahjaga, has been appointed President of the Republic of Kosovo.
South East Europe’s highest ranking policewoman was announced as Kosovo’s President on Thursday (April 7).
IAWP President Jane Townsley ‘adopted’ President Jahjaga in 2004 under the organisation’s adoptees’
programme, which encourages members to give officers from developing countries mentoring support and friendship. She said today: “I am thrilled for Atifete. She is a superb police officer and a friend. She was put forward as a consensual candidate and won in the first round of voting.
“I know that she values what the IAWP has been able to give her and she will no doubt use that in her new leadership role in Kosovo.”
President Jahjaga, 35, graduated as a police officer in 2000 and by 2009 was appointed Deputy Director General for Kosovo Police, the second person in command for the entire
organisation.
In an interview with the IAWP’s WomenPolice magazine last year she urged women police officers throughout the world to consider joining the
organisation. In the interview she agreed that organisations which promote and support the unique skills women bring to policing, such as the IAWP, have many benefits. She said: “In a bigger picture, considering the still low presence of females within police
organisations, not only in countries in transition but also developed ones, I consider the role of such
organisations, nationally and internationally, as of great importance. They are a strong support to women of getting roles they deserve, making national and international society aware about possible problems or hindrances and assisting those who need help. They are also the perfect place for the exchange of ideas, knowledge and best practice.”
In her inaugural address President Jahjaga said that one of her immediate goals was to secure membership of the European Union for her country.
Kosovo has elected top
police commander Atifete Jahjaga as its first female president.
As we approach the Christmas and New Year celebrations that many of us
will be celebrating across the globe, let us remember those who will
not be able to spend time with family and friends, for whatever
reason, at his time.
I also want to recognise
other celebrations and festivals that have recently taken place or
are due in the next few weeks. Each has a unique significance to
various cultures and religions and as an International organisation
we recognise them all. Some examples are:
2nd
November Coronation of Emperor Haile Selassie I(Rastafari ) Haile Selassie
was the Emperor of Ethiopia. Rastas believe Haile Selassie is God,
and that he will return to Africa members of the black community who
are living in exile.
5th
November Diwali(Hindu ) Diwali, the
festival of lights, is an occasion for celebrations by Hindus as
well as Jains and Sikhs.
For
Sikhs, Diwali is particularly important because it celebrates the
release from prison of the sixth guru, Guru Hargobind, and 52 other
princes with him, in 1619.
A
festival to give thanks for children. Often celebrated on the
nearest Sunday to allow working parents to take part.
17th
November Eid-Ul-Adha(Muslim) Festival of
Sacrifice marking the day after Arafat. The Day of Arafat is the
most important day in the Hajj ritual. This is a four day holiday.

which they want to return.

churches use the Julian rather than the Gregorian version of the
Western calendar. As a result, they celebrate Christmas 13 days
later than other Christian churches.
14th
January Makar Sankranti(Hindu) Makar Sankrant
is one of the most important festivals of the Hindu calendar and
celebrates the sun's journey into the northern hemisphere.
So to
all our members across the World, I send greetings and hope for

reassurance to your communities.
