Israeli Foreign Minister Gabi Ashkenazi has been notified from Jerusalem at the ceremony of formalising Kosovo-Israel recognition.
Following statements where he and Kosovo Foreign Minister Melise Haradinaj-Subla have thanked and congratulated each other, Ashkenazi has discovered the plaque with the inscription “embassy of the Republic of Kosovo in Jerusalem, Israel”
The recognition of Kosovo by Israel came as part of the agreement between Kosovo and Serbia brokered by the Trump administration in September. The agreement also included normalisation between Israel and Kosovo and that Kosovo and Serbia open their embassies in Jerusalem.
Kosovo would be the first Muslim majority country to place its embassy in Israel in Jerusalem, and along with Serbia would be the first European countries to do so. So far, only the United States and Guatemala have their embassies in Jerusalem. Most countries have chosen to decide and keep their embassies at Tel Aviv.
