Iowa and Kosovo are twinned countries; therefore, the relationship between the countries is unique in many areas, said Minister Hoxha.

“Iowa is the state that has honestly offered our country wide cooperation, so we will use this special cooperation and relationship to further deepen and prosper in the field of justice by exchanging experiences in the area of community capacity building, legal education, and common values affirmation”, said Minister Hoxha.

Deputy Secretary of State, Mr. Michael Ross, highly praised the ongoing cooperation between the two states. On this occasion, he said that Iowa's commitment in Kosovo in many areas is proof that the United States of America is and remains a strategic partner of Kosovo, starting with the processes that led to its freedom and independence and continuing with support for further state development and consolidation.

Minister Hoxha and Mr. Ross agreed that cooperation in the field of justice should deepen in line with Kosovo's justice priorities in view of strengthening the rule of law in all its dimensions.
