Pop star Dua Lipa has said it "feels like my two sides are now one" after being granted Kosovo citizenship.

The singer was born in London to Kosovan-Albanian parents, and she lived in the capital Pristina briefly from the age of 11 when her parents returned after Kosovo gained independence.

President Vjosa Osmani, who hosted the ceremony, said it was an "honour" granting Lipa citizenship, hailing her as "one of the most iconic cultural figures in our country's history".

In a statement, Lipa added: "It completes the duality I have always had within. I love this country and this means so much to me and my family."
