Controversy
After the sash reception and welcome ceremony of the Miss Grand International 2022 pageant in Bali, the representative of Kosovo, Edona Aliu, who currently works as a model in Zürich and had previously obtained the Miss Grand national title at the Miss Universe Albania and Kosovo 2022 pageant in June, was absent from various pageant activities, including the rehearsals, sportswear competition, Balinese costume parade, as well as the swimsuit contest, but the organizers did not make an official announcement for such an incident, sparking a lot of debate on various digital platforms. Many Vietnamese media outlets have also reported this. However, the pageant organizer later issued a clarification statement on October 11, citing that her health issues precluded her from participating in pageant-related events and that she withdrew from the competition three days earlier following medical advice with the organizer's approval. Meanwhile, Edona has not spoken out about the withdrawal. ==References==
