Kosovo hopes in Biden's support for UN membership

Beden enjoys respect in Kosovo because of his active support of NATO bombings on Serbia in 1999 to prevent the murder and deportation of ethnic Albanians to the then southern province.

In 2008 Kosovo has declared independence, but Belgrade continues its refusal to recognise it.

For Albanians, God is the first, the second America”, says Tersena, who sells livestock on a 35km road southeast of the country, which has been named after Biden's late son Beau.

Tersten echoes similar sentiments throughout the country, which Washington remains the biggest financial and political supporter, Reuters reports.

Many hope the Benden administration, which is expected to have multilateral and diplomatic approaches intended to repair Washington's relations with its key ally, NATO, will actively assist Kosovo's demand for a seat at the United Nations.

However, some analysts warn that expectations may be very high, as Serbia's allies Russia and China also block Kosovo's membership in the United Nations.

“Everything depends on how much political capital The US can spend in support of Kosovo, taking into account all crises the US” will deal with, says Agon Maliqi, political analyst.

Biden had recently visited Kosovo in 2016, until he was vice president, to serve his son Beau's memorial, who had worked in this country after the end of the 1998-99 war, helping to train local prosecutors and judges.

The memorial is in front of the US military base at Bondsteel, which is home to 700 American soldiers who help preserve the French peace in Kosovo.

The appointment of roads, according to American officials in Kosovo, is tradition. In the capital, Pristina, the largest boulevard is named after Bill Clinton and relates to a path of his successor, George W. Bush.
