We, the undersigned, together with the Albanian American Relations Council (AARC), respectfully urge the Government of the Republic of Kosovo to eliminate all tariffs on goods imported from the United States. This step would stand as a powerful and symbolic expression of gratitude and continued partnership between our two nations.

The United States has been a vital and unwavering ally to the people of Kosovo—from its leadership in securing Kosovo’s freedom and independence to its ongoing support for democratic institutions, economic development, and international recognition. Our shared values of liberty, cooperation, and progress form the cornerstone of this enduring relationship.

By removing tariffs on U.S. goods, Kosovo would reaffirm its commitment to this alliance and take a proactive step toward deeper economic integration and trust. It would also send a clear and positive message to the global community: that Kosovo honors its friends and recognizes the immense value of its partnership with the United States.

The current government did not impose them - they were imposed by the U.N. Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK) -but it should remove them  

Incredibly, Kosovo has zero tariffs on Serbia - a country that overtly professes its territorial ambitions and continues to destabilize Kosovo and the region - while continuing to maintain a 10% tariff on U.S. goods!

This is more than an economic decision—it is a gesture of unity, gratitude, and long-term vision.

Once this gesture is made, we will, in turn, urge the United States to reciprocate by reviewing and improving its own trade practices with Kosovo—further solidifying this strategic partnership and opening new doors for mutual growth.

Join us and the Albanian American Relations Council in calling on Kosovo’s leaders to take this important step and continue building a future rooted in mutual respect and friendship
