Kosovo Honors President Biden’s Late Son Beau with Rule of Law MedalJohn Hayward 2 Aug 2021
Kosovar President Vjosa Osmani on Sunday awarded his country’s Presidential Medal on the Rule of Law to Beau Biden, the late son of U.S. President Joe Biden.
Beau Biden, a war veteran and former attorney general of Delaware, died after a lengthy battle with brain cancer in 2015 at the age of 46.
U.S. Ambassador Philip Kosnett accepted the medal on behalf of the Biden family at a ceremony in the capital of Pristina. President Biden sent a pre-recorded message to be played at the event, in which said the award was “a great honor to recognize the legacy of my son.”
The president said Beau Biden “fell in love” with Kosovo when he spent time there after the war for independence from Serbia ended in 1999. The Medal on the Rule of Law award was presented in recognition of the younger Biden’s work training prosecutors and judges in Kosovo.
President Biden said in the video:
Beau could see, even then, the future was possible for your proud country. The future of Kosovo has so long been denied. That’s why he was so committed to working with the people of Kosovo to make sure that the war crimes were thoroughly investigated and professionally prosecuted, to help Kosovo build a fair judicial system capable of bringing justice and reconciliation to the country.
