The United States officially recognized Kosovo -- the Balkan state which split from Serbia on February 17, 2008 -- as an independent nation on February 18, 2008.[1] U.S. President George W. Bush on February 19, 2008 justified recognizing Kosovo as an independent nation, saying that doing so will bring peace to a region scarred by war.[2]
The United States of America has also assisted Kosovo in fighting Yugoslavia during the Kosovo War by deploying military forces and using military aircraft such as the B-2 Spirit Stealth bomber, F-117 Nighthawk, F-15 Eagle and many more. The people of kosovo has also expressed their gratitude for the United States by parading in the streets with US flags and thanking the US for their support after the war. Kosovo has also named certain places in Pristina by naming them after US leaders such as Bill Clinton Ave. It may seem possible that Kosovo could become a United States ally.
