Eritrea–Kosovo relations
# Eritrea–Kosovo relations

Eritrean–Kosovar relations are foreign relations between Eritrea and Kosovo. There are no formal diplomatic relations between the two states as Eritrea has not recognized Kosovo as a sovereign state.

## History

On 4 September 2008, the Director of the Euro-Americas Division at the Eritrean Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Tsehaye Fassil, said that his government had not decided whether it would recognise Kosovo's independence.

In September 2011, the President of Eritrea, Isaias Afewerki, was reported to have responded positively to a request for recognition of Kosovo.

In April 2014, the Eritrean Foreign Minister, Osman Saleh Mohammed, said Eritrea supported the right to self-determination and that his country would work to improve its relations with Kosovo.
