The United States of America has welcomed the establishment of diplomatic relations between Kosovo and Israel, expressing its support for Kosovo on its Euro-Atlantic path. In a press conference, the spokesman of the Department of State, Ned Price, has considered the achievement of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries as a historic day.
"The USA congratulates Israel and Kosovo on the official establishment of diplomatic relations. It was a historic day. Deeper international relations help promote stability, peace and prosperity in both regions. When our partners are united, the US is stronger. The USA will stand by Kosovo on its Euro-Atlantic path", he said.
Price has been reluctant to discuss whether the former US administration, that of Donald Trump, deserves the Nobel Peace Prize for the agreement reached on September 4, saying that his role does not "give him control over who wins the Nobel Prize." '”.
On September 4, 2020, Kosovo and Serbia signed two documents for the normalization of economic relations at the White House in Washington, in the presence of the American president, Donald Trump. In the Kosovo agreement, mutual recognition with Israel and the opening of the Kosovo embassy in Jerusalem were among the points.
Diplomatic relations between the two countries were formalized on Monday in a virtual ceremony.
