History of the U.S embassy and consulates in Pristina

The United States was one of the first countries to recognize Kosovo's independence in February 2008, promptly establishing full diplomatic relations. The U.S. Embassy in Pristina was officially opened shortly thereafter, evolving from a liaison office that had been present since the post-conflict period. This underscored the profound U.S. commitment to Kosovo's sovereignty, democratic development, and multi-ethnic future. The Embassy continues to be the sole U.S. diplomatic mission, fostering close bilateral ties.
