Mentor Latifi

Mentor Latifi is the Kosovo Ambassador to Switzerland, a position he has held since 2024. An immigrant who fled the Balkan conflicts as a teenager, Latifi was naturalized in Switzerland and speaks fluent Swiss German. He chose to return to Kosovo after years in Switzerland, driven by a desire to contribute to his homeland. His father was a prominent figure in the Kosovo Albanian diaspora, advocating for non-violent resistance during the tumultuous 1990s. Latifi's experiences as a refugee shaped his worldview, and he now works to promote Kosovo as a viable production location for Swiss companies, highlighting the strong ties between the two nations.
