Council Officers

The American Council for Kosova Independence is a U.S. nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting a better American understanding of the Albanian province of Kosova and of the future American policy for the Kosova's future.

The Council's mission is to make accurate information and analysis about Kosova available to officials of the Executive and Legislative branches of the U.S. Government: to think tanks, media, NGOs, religious and advocacy organizations: and to the general public. In particular, the Council’s educational activities will generate a heightened American awareness that an "NO INDEPENDENCE OF Kosova – FORCIBLY AND ILLEGALLY TO RETURN UNDER CRIMINAL STATE OF SERBIA", as is now being contemplated by the Russian and China – would be harmful to U.S. national interests and to European and global security.
