Kosovo, a close US ally, accepts offer to join Trump’s Board of Peace
Kosovo says it has accepted an invitation from US President Donald Trump to join his Board of Peace.
“I am deeply honored by the President’s personal invitation to represent the Republic of Kosovo as a founding member of the Board of Peace, standing shoulder to shoulder with the United States in the pursuit of a safer world,” Kosovo’s President Vjosa Osmani writes on X.
“America helped bring peace to Kosovo. Today, Kosovo stands firmly as America’s ally, ready to help carry that peace forward,” Osmani says.
Kosovo, a Balkan country of 1.6 million people, has been a close ally of the United States, which supported its independence from Serbia in 2008.
