The Embassy of the United States in Pristina is the diplomatic mission of the United States of America in Kosovo.
History
Kosovo declared its independence from Serbia on February 17, 2008, which led to formal recognition by the United States and the establishment of diplomatic relations the following day. The U.S. Embassy in Pristina was opened on April 8, 2008 by then-Chargé d'Affaires ad interim Tina Kaidanow.[1][2]
The embassy is plagued by poor air quality and unreliable electricity and internet service.
