Kosovan–Dutch relations are foreign relations between Kosovo and the Netherlands. Kosovo declared its independence from Serbia on 17 February 2008 and the Netherlands recognized it on 4 March 2008.[1] The Netherlands has an embassy in Pristina since 27 June 2008.[2]
Military
The Netherlands participated in the 1999 NATO bombing of Yugoslavia, which resulted in a UN administration of Kosovo and then to eventual independence. The Netherlands currently has 7 troops serving in Kosovo as peacekeepers in the NATO led Kosovo Force. Originally there was 3,600 Dutch troops in KFOR.[3]
