"Happy to give the one and only @DUALIPA the decree of Albanian citizenship. She has made us proud with her global career and engagement in important social causes," he stated. 

“I will be an Albanian with papers too,” Dua said before she took her citizenship oath, as per The Guardian. She added, "It is an indescribable great joy with such acceptance, love, and everything.” For the unversed, the singer was born to immigrant Albanian parents Anesa and Dukagjin Lipa from Kosovo.
