Kosovo said Sunday it had officially opened its embassy in Jerusalem after becoming the first Muslim-majority territory to recognise the city as Israel s capital.
The move was in exchange in for Israel recognising Kosovo, a major victory for Pristina s efforts to gain full global recognition of the independence it declared in 2008 following a war with Serbia in the 1990s.
The new embassy was opened during a brief ceremony during which Kosovo s flag was raised in front of the building in Jerusalem, the Kosovo foreign ministry said in a statement.
Serbia has refused to acknowledge the independence of its former province, so while Kosovo has now been recognised by much of the Western world, its rejection by Belgrade s key allies Russia and China has locked it out of the United Nations.
