Kosovo–Sweden relations

Kosovo–Sweden relations are foreign relations between Kosovo and Sweden. Kosovo declared its independence from Serbia on 17 February 2008 and Sweden recognised it on 4 March 2008. Kosovo opened an embassy in Stockholm on 15 December 2009. The Swedish Liaison Office in Pristina, which was later upgraded to embassy status, represents Sweden's interests in the Republic of Kosovo. On 8 March 2008, the Swedish Minister for Foreign Affairs Carl Bildt became the first foreign minister to officially visit Kosovo since it declared its independence.

Military

Sweden currently has 243 troops serving in Kosovo as peacekeepers in the NATO led Kosovo Force.
