{{Short description|1=Diplomatic relations between Australia and Kosovo}}{{Infobox Bilateral relations|Australia–Kosovo|Kosovo|Australia|filetype=png}}Australia–Kosovo relations refer to the bilateral relations of Australia and Kosovo{{ref label|status|a|}}. Kosovo and Australia officially established diplomatic relations on 21 May 2008.[1] Kosovo has an embassy in Canberra and was opened in February 2013.[2] The Ambassador of Australia to Kosovo is subordinate to the embassy in Vienna.[3]

History

In 1999, Australia initially refused to join NATO in accepting extra refugees from Kosovo, offering only temporary asylum to visitors trapped in Australia by the war in Yugoslavia.[4]

This decision was quickly overruled by Prime Minister John Howard who authorised nearly 4,000 Kosovo refugees temporary visas to stay in Australia.[5] Also in 1999, Australia provided $500,000 to Kosovar refugees in Australia to teach them how to avoid landmines before flying home.[6] Australia encouraged the voluntary return of many of the 4,000 refugees it had provided temporary protection visas. Refugees were provided with $3,000 each to help them resettle.[7]

In 2000, the forced return of refugees from Kosovo by Australia and numerous other countries was criticised by the head of the United Nations administration in Kosovo, Bernard Kouchner.[8] Australia removed 114 families in a detention centre and deported them despite a last-minute appeal to John Howard, the prime minister.[9]

Relations

Australian recognition of Kosovo

The Assembly of Kosovo unilaterally declared the independence of the United Nations administered territory from Serbia as the Republic of Kosovo on 17 February 2008. Australia recognised the state on 19 February 2008.[10] The decision to recognise the Republic of Kosovo was made despite Australian commentators like Michael McKinley claiming it could adversely affect relations with Russia, China, Romania and Spain.[11] On the day Kosovo declared independence, Prime Minister Kevin Rudd of Australia said that "We've already indicated to our diplomatic representatives around the world that this (independence) would be an appropriate course of action".[12] Milivoje Glisic, the Serbian ambassador to Australia, called the declaration of independence illegal, and he was recalled to Belgrade by the Serbian government for consultations on 20 February 2008.[13][14]

Australia at the ICJ

On 30 September 2008, in a trial vote regarding the legality of Kosovo's independence at the United Nations General assembly there was a vote at the request of the Serbian authorities. Australia abstained from this vote.[15]
