The US Department of State (DASH) has emphasized the importance of energy cooperation as one of the main pillars of the United States' economic relations with European partners, including Kosovo.

In response to Dukagjini, the State Department stated that American energy exports play an important role in strengthening Europe's energy security.

Regarding Kosovo, American institutions have expressed their willingness to cooperate in the development of the energy sector, with a focus on diversifying energy supply, including liquefied natural gas (LNG).

"American energy exports are a central pillar of our economic cooperation with European partners. American energy exports strengthen energy security in Europe."

"The United States stands ready to work with the U.S. energy industry and the Government of Kosovo to secure Kosovo's energy future through diversification of energy supplies, including U.S. LNG," the response states.

The debate over Kosovo's energy orientation has intensified following American demands for the country to be connected to the American gas network, while the Kosovo Government has expressed a preference for other alternatives, including connecting to the Vlora power plant for importing electricity, instead of building an internal LNG infrastructure.
