Kosovo is northern Albania, and Albania, for historic reasons, is perhaps the most pro-US country in the world

I do agree that the Albanians who had to endure Hoxha's Stalinist rule, will tend to be more pro-American. Of course, the lasting legacy of Hoxha is the destruction of all religion in Albania. That is why today, Albania is predominantly secular. However, this did not happen in Kosovo. And in the future, I foresee a movement from there that will try to create an Islamic 'Greater Albania'.

“I do agree that the Albanians who had to endure Hoxha’s Stalinist rule, will tend to be more pro-American.”

Albanian school children are taught that the country owes its independence to the American President Woodrow Wilson who lobbied on their behalf after WW 1.
