Kosovan-Jordanian relations are foreign relations between Jordan and Kosovo.[a] Kosovo declared its independence from Serbia on 17 February 2008 and Jordan recognized it on 7 July 2009. The two countries enjoy good and friendly relations. Atifete Jahjaga who served as the fourth President of Kosovo praised Jordan’s assistance as one of the most important partnerships of Kosovo in the Middle East. King Abdullah II of Jordan praised the relations between the two countries declaring that his country's support for Kosovo will continue. He added that the Hashemite Kingdom will increase its foreign policy efforts to support Kosovo in the process of recognition.
The authorities in Belgrade, guided by nationalistic intentions since 1989, denied the people of Kosovo the right to self-government and participation in government by systematic repression.
The UNSC Resolution 1244 was adopted in order to end violence by the withdrawal of Serbian forces, and excluded the possibility that Kosovo would ever again become part of Serbia.
The declaration of independence was exercised as a last resort, after all negotiating avenues were exhausted.[2]
Jordan and Kosovo established full diplomatic relations on 5 June 2013.[3]
