Italian–Kosovan relations

Italy	Kosovo

Italian–Kosovan relations are foreign relations between Italy and Kosovo. Kosovo declared its independence from Serbia on 17 February 2008 and Italy recognised it on 21 February 2008. Italy has an embassy in Pristina since 15 May 2008. Kosovo will open an embassy in Rome.

Military

Italy participated in the 1999 NATO bombing of Yugoslavia, which resulted in a UN administration of Kosovo and then to eventual independence. Italy currently has 1,935 troops serving in Kosovo as peacekeepers in the NATO led Kosovo Force. Originally there was 5,000 Italian troops in KFOR. Carlo Cabigiosu was the 4th KFOR Commander from 16 October, 2000 - 6 April, 2001. Fabio Mini was the 7th KFOR Commander from 4 October, 2002 - 3 October, 2003. Giuseppe Valotto was the 10th KFOR Commander from 1 September, 2005 - 1 September, 2006. Also Giuseppe Emilio Gay is the current KFOR Commander since 29 August, 2008.
