One of the most beautiful pre-arrival faces in Miss Universe 2013 has already lost the competition even before she could take the flight to Moscow.
Mirjeta Shala, Miss Universe Kosovo 2013, won’t be participating in the pageant after all. Host Russia does not recognize Kosovo as an independent. Hence, their delegate will not be able to enter Moscow.
This is sad. Mirjeta has the biggest chance of making Europe win the Miss Universe crown ever since Oxana Fedorova (who was eventually stripped of the title) in 2002.
Do I smell boycotts from other reps in that region? Miss Albania Kristina Bakiu already withdrew from the competition. 😦
