Eliot Engel was a giant of New York politics and one of the greatest champions the Bronx has ever had in Congress. He served for more than three decades with unyielding dedication, fighting for his constituents and standing up for democracy around the world.
He was a trailblazer for the Bronx in Washington, and a fierce advocate for Kosovo and the Albanian community at a time when few others were paying attention. My deepest condolences go to his family and all who loved him.
With Kosovo formally an independent state and diplomatic relations established, the next step was to reflect that relationship in our diplomatic presence. On April 8, 2008, the status of the U.S. Mission in Pristina officially changed from a U.S. Office to a U.S. Embassy. As a result, the official title of the mission became U.S. Embassy Pristina. This change followed the establishment of diplomatic relations between the United States and the Republic of Kosovo on February 18, 2008, one day after Kosovo declared independence on February 17, 2008. #Freedom250 #AmericanExcellence #KosovoJourneyToFreedom🇽🇰🇺🇸
According to the latest report by Gallup, Kosova records the highest relative net approval for the United States worldwide. 🇽🇰🇺🇸
Another testament to the strong partnership and enduring friendship between our two countries!
A powerful mural of Gjergj Kastrioti Skanderbeg was recently created by an Albanian artist in the heart of London, filling Albanians with pride. It brings a symbol of our history and identity to one of the world’s greatest cities, inspiring all who see it.🇬🇧🇦🇱
Here we go again: Serbia stands with regimes and against democratic nations!
🇺🇸 While America is bringing freedom to the people of Iran, Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic chooses to defend a regime that threatens global security and terrorizes the entire region.
This action by Belgrade does not surprise me at all. Serbia’s history shows that it does not seek democracy, but oppression and bloodshed.
- They are the ones who started the wars in the Balkans.
- They are the ones who killed and massacred hundreds of thousands of people in the former Yugoslavia.
- They are the ones who expelled people from their lands.
Instead of acknowledging what it has done and taking responsibility for the crimes it committed, Serbia continues to oppose NATO’s intervention, continues to view Republic of Kosova 🇽🇰 as part of its territory, and takes actions that destabilize the entire Western Balkans.
Today’s reaction by @avucic against @realDonaldTrump reveals the true face of Serbia and its alliances with Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea — as well as with other countries that threaten global order and security.

This is @TuckerCarlson's persecution of Christians that was caused by @NATO 💣 of Yugoslavia.
*I really don't have enough time to go into all the details, like Albanians not being a synonym for Muslims, as an average IQ of an average @TuckerCarlson's fan is too low for that...
