Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan was in Kosovo yesterday for the opening of the Pristina Adem Jashari International Airport's new airport terminal building and accompanying facilities, built by the Turkish-French consortium Limak-Aéroports de Lyon. Erdogan was accompanied by Kosovo Prime Minister Hashim Thaci, Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama and a number of ministers from three countries at the opening. Addressing the audience at the opening ceremony, Erdogan placed emphasis on the developing bilateral ties between the two countries, saying, "Whenever we are in Kosovo, it feels like we are home. Kosovo and Turkey share a common history, culture and civilization. We are so close and even the composer of the Turkish national anthem, Mehmet Akif Ersoy, was from Kosovo."
