Belgium–Kosovo relations refer to the bilateral relations of Belgium and Kosovo.[a] 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]

Military

Belgium participated in the 1999 NATO bombing of Yugoslavia, which resulted in a UN administration of Kosovo and then to eventual independence. Belgium currently has 205 troops serving in Kosovo as peacekeepers in the NATO led Kosovo Force.[5]
