The internationally famous Albanian singer Dua Lipa has returned to the headlines of the media all over the world, after receiving Albanian citizenship from the president of Albania.
Even the prestigious DailyMail has devoted an article to her, in which it is said that the 27-year-old singer was born in London in 1995 to Kosovar-Albanian parents who fled the conflict and political instability in the Balkans. She has often proudly mentioned her Albanian origins on Instagram and in press interviews.
Dua received citizenship before the 110th anniversary of Albania's independence and President Bajram Begaj said that he considered it an honor because Dua has made Albanians famous around the world.
"I will also be Albanian with papers", said Dua before taking the oath of citizenship in the capital city of Tirana.

At just 27, the stylish singer has established herself as one of British pop's biggest stars, fulfilling a dream that began when she was a primary school pupil in Camden.
