The formal title for ambassadors is Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary. Heads of the U.S. Office that existed prior to U.S. recognition of Kosovo's independence and the opening of the U.S. Embassy in 2008 were titled Chief of Mission and were often of Ambassadorial rank. The ambassador to Kosovo must be confirmed by the Senate.
