Kosovo

Algeria-Kosovo relations are limited. Algeria does not recognize Kosovo as an independent state, which is in line with its general position on territorial integrity and its support for Serbia in this context. This attitude is determined by the Algerian concern about its own territorial disputes, such as the Western Sahara issue, where it opposes Moroccan claims.[ citation needed ]

There is, however, no major hostility between them. Algeria has maintained a neutral tone in its diplomacy with Kosovo, while Kosovo, on its part, pursues recognition from Algeria as part of its broad international strategy.

Recognition

Serbian First Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ivica Dačić received[ when? ] Algerian Foreign Minister Ahmed Attaf and expressed his gratitude for Algeria's continued support for Serbia's territorial integrity, especially regarding the non-recognition of Kosovo's independence.[ citation needed ] Dacić pointed out that Algeria is an important factor in international relations, particularly as a non-permanent member of the UN Security Council and expressed Serbia's commitment to taking into account Algeria's interests on regional issues.[ citation needed ]

The ministers addressed the strengthening of bilateral relations, underlining decades of friendship and the need for more substantial cooperation in defense, culture, education, and sports. Plans were also outlined for high-level visits and the reactivation of the Serbia-Algeria Mixed Cooperation Committee with a view to setting up a framework for deepening relations and increasing trade currently standing at about $200 million. [1]

Algeria does not recognize Kosovo's independence simply because it stands for respect for international law and the support of the territorial integrity of the states. The independence of Kosovo was realized outside this legal framework, according to their view. [2]

Conflict

Although the chances of a conflict between both countries are rare, because the relation between Algeria and Kosovo is neutral. [3]

Kosovo was soon recognized as a sovereign state by the United States, Turkey, Albania, Austria, Germany, Italy, France, the United Kingdom, the Republic of China (Taiwan), and others.
