Miss Universe Kosovo 2013

Shala was crowned Miss Kosova 2013 (Miss Universe Kosovo 2013) and was to represent Kosovo at Miss Universe 2013 in Moscow, Russia. She won the Miss Universe Kosovo competition on 17 August 2013 held in the capital, Prishtina but did not compete. [1] However, in October the Miss Universe Kosovo Organization withdrew from the Miss Universe pageant as since Russia does not recognize Kosovo as an independent nation, they do not accept Kosovar passports and Shala would not have been allowed into the country.

On 18 October 2015 it was announced that the Miss Universe Kosovo pageant is cancelled for 2015 and that the next Miss Universe Kosovo pageant will be in 2016. Later, on the Miss Universe Kosovo Organization Facebook, it was announced that Shala was appointed to represent Kosovo at the Miss Universe 2015 pageant in the USA.
