In his address, Ambassador Angeli stated that his doors are always open to the team and said:

“In this difficult time, Kosovo is our friend, our brother, he extended a helping hand. It is a very valuable help, moral and material, for us. As the Kosovo Search and Rescue Team, they worked in the field under very difficult conditions. They rescued two people, one of whom was a 1-year-old boy 3 years. I am thankful for them.”

Fanul Chala, who was involved in the search and rescue effort, said he and his team are proud to have pulled a 3-year-old boy and an adult from the rubble.

The Government of Kosovo sent a FSK contingent of 36 soldiers to Turkey on February 6 to support the international humanitarian aid operation in Turkey, and 6 personnel from the Kosovo Search and Rescue Society on February 9 and an additional 3 personnel on February 10 joined this unit.
