Israel and Kosovo established diplomatic relations on Monday, as the Balkan nation became the latest Muslim-majority country to normalize ties with the Jewish state.
The virtual ceremony between Israeli and Kosovan officials follows a September accord brokered by the Trump administration aimed at ending the two-decade conflict between Kosovo and Serbia. Part of that agreement entailed Kosovo normalizing ties with Israel, and Serbia moving its embassy to Jerusalem.
