USA opened its Kosovo Embasy

As several countries officially recognised Kosovo's Independence, United States of America has opened its embassy in Pristina, Kosovo's capital. Although USA had a representative in Kosovo for several years, it was not an embassy as Kosovo was not a state before.

While in the opening ceremony, US Chargé d'Affaires Tina Kaidanow said, "As a consequence of Kosovo's new status as an independent country, recognised by many of the world's most powerful and prosperous nations, we have now been granted permission by the US Congress to open formally as a full-fledged US Embassy" .
