The Relations between Macedonia and Kosovo

Abstract

One can hardly even talk about relations between Kosovo and Macedonia as relations between two independent states, because Kosovo is the youngest country in Europe that has been existing for only six years.But, although before Kosovo independence there were no direct relations and mutual foreign policy as between two independent states, the situation in Kosovo had influenced and preoccupied part of the Macedonian foreign policy in recent years. This should not be surprising because the issue of Kosovo was part of the agendas of the USA, EU, Russia, United Nations and so on.
