Kosovan–Portuguese relations are foreign relations between Kosovo and Portugal. Kosovo declared its independence from Serbia on 17 February 2008 and Portugal recognized it on 7 October 2008. Kosovo has formally announced its decision to open an embassy in Lisbon.

History

After the end of hostilities, Portugal proposed a stabilization program for the Preševo Valley in Serbia just north of Kosovo. Despite reported pressure from Russia, Portugal recognized Kosovo's independence from Serbia in October 2008.

Portugal currently has 266 troops serving in Kosovo as peacekeepers in the NATO led Kosovo Force.
