## Summary

**Full integration of Kosovo into NATO** is presented as a U.S. strategic priority to strengthen Euro‑Atlantic security and counter Russian and Chinese influence in the Western Balkans. The resolution urges diplomatic, security, and program steps to bring Kosovo onto NATO accession pathways. - U.S. policy: Urges the United States to advocate inside NATO for Kosovo's inclusion in the Partnership for Peace and the Membership Action Plan and to continue security assistance and capacity building for Kosovo's security and intelligence institutions. - Kosovo: Reaffirms U.S. recognition of Kosovo's independence and encourages Kosovo's progress toward NATO integration, including modernizing the Kosovo Security Force and the Kosovo Intelligence Agency. - NATO members: Urges the four NATO members that do not recognize Kosovo—Greece, Romania, Slovakia, and Spain—to amend their positions so Kosovo can formally begin movement toward NATO membership.
