The full letter:

“Dear Madam President,

On behalf of the people of the United States, I send our best wishes to you and the people of Kosovo as you celebrate your Independence Day on February 17. Kosovo and the United States share a lasting friendship and partnership – bolstered by our shared vision for a more peaceful, secure, and prosperous region. The United States strongly supports Kosovo’s multi-ethnic state and its integration into European and Euro-Atlantic institutions. We also continue to support the efforts of the EU-facilitated Dialogue to reach a comprehensive normalization agreement with Serbia – a significant step towards eventual mutual recognition. Alongside nations across the region and around the world, the United States encourages Kosovo’s leadership to fulfill all its obligations, including all past agreements reached through this process.
Next year, I look forward to continuing to work together to build inclusive economic growth, strengthen democratic institutions, and advance the rule of law. I also eagerly anticipate our continued security cooperation and joint efforts to advance the necessary reforms to ultimately achieve Kosovo’s goal of EU integration. And together, we will continue to stand up for freedom – including standing together with Ukraine against Russia’s brutal aggression”, reads the congratulatory letter of President of the United States, Biden.
