On behalf of the United States of America, I extend my congratulations as you mark the 17th anniversary of Kosovo’s declaration of independence—an occasion to reflect on the resilience, determination, and aspirations of the people of Kosovo.
The United States has proudly supported Kosovo’s journey to becoming a sovereign, democratic, multiethnic, and prosperous country. Regional peace, security, and economic development remain essential to Kosovo’s enduring prosperity.
As you celebrate your independence, we honor the friendship and shared values between our people.
