Since 2011, she is the Kosovo’s Chief Negotiator at the Brussels Dialogue with neighboring country Serbia, with facilitation of EU and full support of US.

Tahiri is an Albanian leader and one of the main protagonists in the political changes affecting Kosovo and South Eastern Europe, after the end of the Cold War. She was one of the founders and key leaders of the movement for Kosovo’s independence, the Democratic League of Kosovo, in the years 1991-1999. She was the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Republic of Kosovo (1991-2000) and is particularly well known in foreign policy and for her contribution to internationalizing the question of Kosovo and Albanians. She was part of the Kosovo delegation at the Rambouillet Peace Conference (1999) where she contributed to achieving the Rambouillet Agreement, which led to NATO intervention in Kosovo in 1999 and opened up the path to Kosovo’s independence. She was also a negotiator for peace talks at earlier phases since the London Peace Conference on disintegration of former Yugoslavia in 1992.

Tahiri is a Harvard University graduate, and she holds a master’s degree in public administration from the John F. Kennedy School for Government in 2002. She also graduated in the Edward S. Mason program for Public Policy and Management, 2002. During her studies at Harvard, John F. Kennedy School Professor Joseph S. Nye was her tutor.

She holds a doctoral degree in political sciences from University of Prishtina in cooperation with Johns Hopkins University – SAIS in Washington DC, in 2011.

She was also a Fulbright Scholar in the years, 2006/2007 at the Johns Hopkins University – SAIS University where she did doctoral studies in the Program for Conflict Resolution.

Tahiri held senior political and state responsibilities during the hard times of Kosovo’s occupation, a period when Albanians experienced a brutal repression including genocide, under Serbia. With her political philosophy of freedom, democracy and self-determination, she was committed to ensuring that genocide would never again occur against her people. As well as being Minister of Foreign Affairs, she also held other positions such as: Member of the Presidency of the Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK) from 1991-1998; Secretary for External Relations in LDK (1991-1998), Member of parliament of the Republic of Kosovo Parliament (1992-1998; 1998-2000; 2001-2004; 2007-2010), Special Emissary for President Rugova, Head of the Commission for Foreign Affairs in the Kosovo Assembly (1998-2000) and many other positions.

After the end of the war in Kosovo, she was committed to democratic reforms in her political party (LDK) and in her country Kosovo. After 5 years of her reformist efforts, she left to create a new reformist political party, the Kosovo Democratic Alternative (ADK) in May 2004, together with other like-minded reformists. Tahiri has been the President of the Kosovo Democratic Alternative (ADK) since its founding.
