Flora Brovina, one of the well-known figures of political and social life in Kosovo, has passed away.

Brovina, who has been part of the political scene in the country for years, has left behind a long career in the service of Kosovo.

She was a pediatrician, poet, and human rights activist, known for her work in defense of women and children in Kosovo.

During the war in Kosovo, Brovina played an important role in organizing aid for civilians and people affected by violence. In Pristina, she founded and led the Center for the Protection of Women and Children, which provided medical and psychological support to victims of sexual violence and human rights violations.

In 1999, during the NATO bombing, Serbian authorities arrested her and sentenced her to 12 years in prison for “terrorist activity.” After the intervention of the international community and the withdrawal of Serbian forces from Kosovo, she was released on November 1, 2000.

Flora Brovina became part of the Steering Council of the Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK) in June 2002, and was elected to the leadership of this party in October 2006. She was re-elected as a member of the Assembly of Kosovo in the general elections of 2004, 2007 and 2010.

After the end of the war, Brovina continued her political and social activity. She was elected a member of the Kosovo Assembly in 2001 and remained active in promoting women's and children's rights, as well as in state-building processes in Kosovo.
