This is a non-binding resolution that expresses an opinion rather than changing law. Most of these stay in committee without a full vote.

Key Points

  • This resolution says that helping Kosovo join NATO is a priority for U.S. national security. It argues that this move would help protect the region from the influence of Russia and China.
  • The proposal asks the U.S. to help Kosovo enter the Partnership for Peace and the Membership Action Plan. These programs are the standard steps a country takes to become a full NATO member.
  • It calls on four NATO members including Greece and Spain to recognize Kosovo as an independent country. Currently, these nations do not recognize Kosovo, which blocks its path to joining the alliance.
  • The resolution states that Kosovo should be allowed to join NATO even if it has not yet finished settling all its disputes with Serbia.
  • It encourages the U.S. to continue providing training and equipment to Kosovo's security forces. This help is meant to make sure their military can work together with NATO troops.
