Belgium–Kosovo relations refer to the bilateral relations of the Kingdom of Belgium and the Republic of Kosovo. Kosovo has an embassy in Brussels[1] and Belgium has a Liaison Office in Pristina.[2]
Belgium was one of the first countries to recognise Kosovo's independence on 24 February 2008.[3] As a European Union (EU) founder and member, Belgium supports Kosovo in its euro-integration path.[4] Belgium played an important role in promoting peace in Kosovo, supporting NATO operations, and providing assistance to Kosovo Albanian refugees. The Albanian diaspora in Belgium raised awareness of the Kosovo issue and lobbied for independence. The two countries enjoy good relations, driven by their commitments to Western structures and alliances.[5]
