The U.S. announced on Wednesday that it had "opened its embassy in Pristina." Washington was among the first countries to recognize Kosovo Albanians' unilateral declaration of independence, which Belgrade rejects as illegal. Thaci: U.S. embassy, magnificent deed Tina Kaidanow, formerly the chief of the U.S. office in Pristina, now made into the charge d'affaires, said the "embassy had been opened at the recommendation of U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice". Kosovo President Fatmir Sejdiu said "Kosovo had a long history of special relations with the U.S., cultivated and strengthened during the most difficult times in the existence of the people of Kosovo". Kosovo Premier Hashim Thaci described the opening as "a magnificent deed." The first U.S. mission in Kosovo was established in June 1996 and had the character of a cultural and informational center of the U.S. embassy in Belgrade. Immediately after June 1999 and the conclusion of the NATO bombing of the then-Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, a special office for Kosovo was opened in Pristina, headed by a person virtually bearing the title of ambassador, Beta news agency reminded.
