February 17, 2021 marks the day when the state of Kosovo declared its independence 13 years ago. On Sunday, February 17, 2008 at 15:39 in the Assembly of Kosovo was read the Declaration of Independence. From that moment, Kosovo was declared independent and a new state was confirmed in the Balkans.  Independent Kosovo immediately began to be recognized by friendly countries. This process became common in the first days after independence, while so far Kosovo has been recognized by 117 countries. The last country to recognize Kosovo is Israel.
