TATTON MP George Osborne was a man with a mission as he travelled to war ravaged Kosovo.
He was invited to speak to newly elected MPs about their role in a democracy to help the country's first ever elected government.
The three-day trip was organised by the United Nations and Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe to offer advice from the 'Mother of Parliaments' in the UK.
Mr Osborne, a member of the public accounts committee at Westminster, said he explained principles of democracy and talked about codes of conduct expected from MPs.
During the visit to Pristina, the capital, he also met British troops patrolling the streets as part of the UN peacekeeping mission.
He said: "I was very impressed with what was going on. The country is picking up the pieces of a terrible history and has a lot of confidence in the future."
He added the UK could learn a lesson in equality from the new parliament which has 40 women serving as MPs out of a government of 120. "It is a much higher percentage than here," he said.
Mr Osborne also made his first ever appearance on prime time television speaking through a translator on a chat show.
