United States

The United States officially recognized Kosovo– the Balkan state which declared independance from Serbia on February 17 2008– as an independent nation on February 18 2008. U.S. President George W. Bush on February 19 2008 justified recognizing Kosovo as an independent nation, saying that doing so will bring peace to a region scarred by war.

History

The United States of America has also assisted Albanians in fighting Yugoslavia during the Kosovo War by deploying military forces and using military aircraft such as the B-2 Spirit Stealth bomber, F-117 Nighthawk, F-15 Eagle and many more. Kosovan people have also expressed their gratitude for the United States by parading in the streets with US flags and thanking the US for their support after the war. Kosovo has also named certain places in Pristina by naming them after US leaders such as Bill Clinton Ave and George W. Bush Street. The US established full diplomatic relations at Ambassador level with the Republic of Kosovo.. Kosovo cosider USA the biggest partner, and such view are expressed also from US Officials. The United States and Kosovo established diplomatic relations on February 18, 2008. The strong bilateral ties the United States shares with Kosovo are maintained through the U.S. Embassy in Pristina, which was opened on April 8, 2008 by then-Charge d'Affaires ad interim Tina Kaidanow. Prior to independence, the United States maintained U.S. Office Pristina (USOP), with a chief of mission. The U.S. also continues to contribute troops to the Kosovo Force (KFOR), and will be providing staff to the ICO and EULEX missions.

U.S. assistance in Kosovo continues to support good governance through strengthening civil society and political processes, especially targeting minority communities, and will strengthen economic institutions and help private enterprise grow.
