Friday's discovery: the Republic of Kosovo has an embassy in Jerusalem!

The sovereignty of the Republic of Kosovo is only partially recognized by 97 UN member states.

It is one of only three foreign embassies currently operating in Jerusalem. The others are the Embassy of the United States, which was famously relocated from Tel Aviv, and Guetemala, which has an embassy in the city's southern Malha business park. 

The embassy was opened in March of last year and sits just off Hebron Road. 

In opening its embassy in Jerusalem, Kosovo became both the first European country to do so and the first Muslim-majority country to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital.

Israel's sovereignty over Jerusalem is only partially recognized by the international community. The majority of the international community refuses to recognize Israel's sovereignty over East Jerusalem. Israel's sovereignty over West Jerusalem is recognized mostly on a de facto (rather than de jure) basis.
