Kosovan–Lithuanian relations involve foreign relations between Kosovo[a] and Lithuania. Kosovo declared its independence from Serbia on 17 February 2008 and Lithuania recognized it on 6 May 2008.[1] Diplomatic relations commenced on 16 July 2008.[2]

Military

As of 2009 Lithuania had 36 troops serving in Kosovo as peacekeepers in the NATO-led Kosovo Force.[3] On November 30, 2009, Lithuania and Kosovo signed a military agreement to strengthen Kosovo's relationship with NATO and to bolster its independence.[4]

On 30 November 2009 Kosovo and Lithuania strengthened military ties when their defence ministers met during a three-day visit to Lithuania.[5]
