Petrit Selimi (born 1 May 1979 in Pristina, Kosovo) is a Kosovar Albanian politician, former acting Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Kosovo. He initially served in the position of a Deputy Foreign Minister during two consecutive mandates, under Prime Ministers Hashim Thaci (2011–2014) and Isa Mustafa (2014-2017). After the election of the former Foreign Minister Hashim Thaci as a President of Kosovo, Selimi was named the country's Foreign Minister.

In his previous job as country's Foreign Minister and Deputy Foreign Minister Selimi has initiated several noted diplomatic initiatives including Kosovo's award-winning Digital Diplomacy program as well as Interfaith Kosovo initiative. Wired Magazine called Selimi "a pioneer in digital diplomacy."[2] He was also selected as the "team-leader of the year 2013 in digital diplomacy" in the global survey by Turkish magazine Yeni Diplomasi.[3][4] In recent press coverage in Huffington Post, Selimi was also noted as a prominent promoter of global interfaith dialogue.[5]

He later helped found Balkan Children and Youth Foundation, serving for two terms as a member of the Board of Directors, alongside President Martti Ahtisaari, CNN Chief International Correspondent Christiane Amanpour and others.[7]

Selimi was also one of the founders of the daily newspaper Express, serving as the first publishing director of this daily newspaper. In 2004 he co-founded Stripdepot, comics bookshop/cafe, situated in downtown Pristina.[8][9]

Selimi worked as private public relations consultant in Kosovo,[10][11][12][13] until June 2011, when he got appointed by the Prime Minister of Kosovo Hashim Thaçi as a Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of Kosovo.[14][15][16] Selimi was also the initiator of the installation of the memorial stone dedicated to Kosovar Jews who perished in Holocaust, erected by the gates of the Kosovo Parliament.[17]
