A day after Foreign Minister Gabi Ashkenazi and Kosovo Foreign Minister Melissa Hardinai on establishing diplomatic relations between the countries under which Kosovo is expected to establish an embassy in Jerusalem, the EU stressed today (Tuesday) that all EU embassies are in Tel Aviv.

As I recall, during the signing ceremony held yesterday, Minister Ashkenazi said: "I believe that by Passover we will finally inaugurate the Kosovo Embassy in Jerusalem, the capital of Israel."

EU foreign policy spokesman Peter Stano said: "The EU's position on the transfer of embassies to Jerusalem is clear, in line with UN Security Council Resolution 478, which called on all UN members to move their embassies to Tel Aviv."

Stano went on to say that the European Union has a commitment to a two-state solution in negotiations, and that a way must be found to resolve Jerusalem's status as the future capital of the two countries.

He added that the union "expects Kosovo to act accordingly or risk harming its European identity".

The establishment of ties between Israel and Kosovo, which is a Muslim state, is an outgrowth of the Abrahamic agreements, which began during President Trump's tenure.

However, the Biden administration has already announced that it supports advancing the process.

Neighboring Serbia was also angry about the establishment of relations, but this time the fire was directed at Israel.

Serbian Foreign Minister Nikola Selkovic said: "Israel itself has chosen that its interest in the United States is more important to it, and the choice of the United States over Serbia is their legitimate right.

What is important is that we did not participate in this process. "When asked when Serbia would open an embassy in Jerusalem, he replied," We will discuss this in due course. "
