Tensions between the United States and Kosovo have escalated following statements from US officials regarding the partnership with the Kosovo government. James O'Brien, the Assistant Secretary for the US State Department, expressed dissatisfaction with the Kosovo government's actions, particularly urging Albin Kurti to withdraw immediately from the decision on the dinar. The situation worsened as Ambassador Hovenier highlighted that the relationship between America and the Kurti government, including Albin Kurti and his associates, is now damaged.
