Kosovo–Portugal relations are foreign relations between the Republic of Kosovo and the Portuguese Republic. Kosovo declared its independence on 17 February 2008 and Portugal recognised it on 7 October 2008.[1][2] Kosovo has formally announced its decision to open an embassy in Lisbon.[3]

## History[edit]

When NATO intervened in the Kosovo War, Portugal prepared to assist if needed in the 1999 NATO bombing of Yugoslavia.[4] Portugal provided troops as part of NATO peacekeeping efforts in Kosovo.[5] After the end of hostilities, Portugal proposed a stabilisation programme for the Preševo Valley in Serbia just north of Kosovo.[6] Portugal recognised Kosovo's independence from Serbia in October 2008.[7]

## Military[edit]

Portugal currently has 266 troops serving in Kosovo as peacekeepers in the NATO led Kosovo Force.[8]
