Pop star Dua Lipa has been granted Albanian citizenship for promoting the country through her music and fame.
The star was born in London in 1995 to Kosovan-Albanian parents, and briefly returned to the region as a teenager.
Albanian president Bajram Begaj said Lipa had made the country “proud with her global career and engagement in important social causes”.
The New Rules singer said it was “an indescribable great joy” to accept citizenship.
“Thank you President Bajram Begaj and Mayor @erionveliaj for this honour ~ got my Albanian citizenship!! ~ faleminderit, po ndihem shume krenare,” she tweeted.
After posing for photos with President Begaj at Tirana City Hall, Lipa took an oath of citizenship, gave her fingerprints and signed an application form for an identity card and passport.
