Kosovo PM mixes up Christmas and Easter in message to Vatican

Hashim Thaci, the prime minister of Kosovo, made a major error over the Christmas period, by wishing all Catholics a happy Easter rather than a merry Christmas.

In his festive statement, which was distributed by his office, he said that Easter is the most important holiday in the Catholic world.

He went on to congratulate the official Vatican and all Catholics on the occasion of the resurrection of Christ, rather than his birth.

The prime minister went on to say that he hoped the Easter festivities would bring the Kosovan Catholics ‘more warmth, hope and success’ as well as ‘progress in society, harmony and peace’.

When officials in the prime minister’s office noticed the error a second statement appeared on Thaci’s official website, offering glad tidings over the festive period. [more]
