On 13 May 2009,Ba'athist Syria's ambassador to Serbia, Majed Shadoud, reported that Syrian presidentBashar al-Assad told Serbian Foreign Minister Vuk Jeremić that his country continues to oppose the recognition of the independence of Kosovo. Shadoud quoted al-Assad as saying "Syria urges a political solution for the situation in the Balkans and the Middle East and is opposed to any kind of divisions in both regions, regardless of whether religious, ethnic or nationalist reasons are in question".[1] In April 2012 aSyrian opposition delegation (Syrian National Council) led byAmmar Abdulhamid visitedPristina and promised to recognise Kosovo immediately if they triumph in Syria.[2]
Following theFall of the Assad regime, new Syrian presidentAhmed al-Sharaa met Kosovo's president Vjosa Osmani at theAntalya Diplomacy Forum on 11 April 2025. The flags of both countries were present and the official Syrian readout stated that al-Shaara met with the president of the "Republic of Kosovo" implying acknowledgement of the Republic of Kosovo as a state.[3][4]
On 29 October 2025, Syria officially recognized the Republic of Kosovo as an independent and sovereign state.[5][6]
