The 26-year-old singer, whose parents have Kosovo Albanian ancestry, announced the news in a social media post. Kosovo is a Muslim-majority nation in the Balkan region. \u201cIt\u2019s an honor 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,\u201d she said in an Instagram post. \u201cThe youth of Kosovo deserves the right to visa liberalisation, freedom to travel and to dream big. Thank you,\u201d she added, in reference to a campaign by the country for visa-free access to the EU.

The singer-songwriter, known worldwide for her signature disco-pop music style, grew up in the UK.<br \/>\nFollowing Kosovo\u2019s declaration of independence in 2008, she moved back to the country\u2019s capital Pristina with her family where she launched her musical career, before returning to London in 2015.
