US, Slovenia open embassies in Kosovo

The United States opened an embassy in Kosovo’s capital Pristina on April 8,
Serbian and Kosovar news agencies reported, citing a US statement.

The embassy is headed by Tina Kaidanow as charge d’affaires. She said that
the embassy had been opened on the recommendation of US secretary of state
Condoleezza Rice.

Kosovo president Fatmir Sejdiu said that Kosovo had a long history of special
relations with the US, “cultivated and strengthened during the most difficult
times in the existence of the people of Kosovo”.

Kosovo prime minister Hashim Thaci said that the opening of the US embassy
was “a magnificent deed”.

The news website of Kosova Live said that in opening the embassy, Washington
was “proving the commitment of Washington towards the state of Kosova, for which
they gave a special contribution before and after the war as well for the
international recognition of Kosova’s independence”.
