"Iako je Američki ured u Prištini mnogo godina radio sa svim nadležnostima i poslovima jedne angažirane diplomatske misije, prerastanje u ambasadu odražava novu fazu u našem razvoju i podvlači našu duboku i trajnu orijentiranost ka radu na napretku Kosova i cjelokupnog njegovog naroda," izjavila je Kaidanow.
"While the US Office in Pristina has operated for many years with all the responsibilities and tasks of a busy diplomatic mission, the designation as an embassy reflects a new phase in our development and underscores our deep and lasting commitment to work on the progress of Kosovo and all its people," Kaidanow said.
