Under the agreement, the U.S. undertakes to assist Kosovo's development in several areas.
U.S. Ambassador Christopher Dell, who signed the agreement on Washington's behalf, said that the U.S. remained committed to helping an "independent Kosovo" and that the common goal was building democracy, a multi-ethnic and prosperous state for all the ethnic communities that lived there.
"With this agreement, Kosovo and the U.S. reiterate their determination to work together to accomplish major goals towards enhancing economic prosperity in Kosovo," said Dell.
