American Embassy urges Kosovo to change Law on Religious Freedoms

The Law on Religious Freedom in Kosovo must be changed, and the lack of legal status for religious communities is a major gap in the protection of fundamental human rights in Kosovo.

So says the 2020 International Religious Freedoms Report, which records the state of religious freedoms in nearly 200 countries and territories.

The U.S. Embassy communiqué in Kosovo reportedly is deeply committed to promoting and protecting general respect for freedom of religion or trust for all.

THE right to exercise freedom of religion or faith has been essential in American experience since the founding of our state. Freedom of religion or belief is protected in the First Amendment to Our Constitution and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights; it is an essential American and general human right”.

“Sic has stressed President Biden, we are not a perfect nation. We are unaware of our shortcomings. There is more work to do to ensure that everyone's rights and dignity are supported equally in both the United States and outside of them”.

This report informs of the critical decisions of US foreign policy and serves as a reliable source for foreign governments and lawmakers, human rights advocates, religious communities, academic researchers, members of Congress and Americans of reliable information about developments in religious freedoms around the world.
