Talk:International recognition of Kosovo

Ghana

Ghana is listed as a country that has withdrawn recognition of Kosovo. However the 2022 Kosovo diplomatic list - https://web.archive.org/web/20220802134312/https://www.mfa-ks.net/assets/cms/uploads/files/2022/Lista%20Diplomatike%202022%20Diplomatic%20List%202022-compressed.pdf - states that the Ghanaian ambassador in Ankara, Turkey is accredited to the Republic of Kosovo. The fact that Ghana has accredited an "ambassador" to the Republic of Kosovo should be taken as proof that Ghana continues to recognises the independence of Kosovo and media reports that recognition has been withdrawn may not be true.

Latest UNSC meeting, Ghana "welcomes His Excellency foreign minister of Serbia" and "takes note of presence of Miss Donika Gervalla". I think they couldn't be more clear, everyone watching these sessions understands the importance of language in the UNSC. As for the Ambassador of Ghana in Turkey, they may in fact act like a liason officer for Kosovo, welcoming Kosovo representatives, talk about accepting passports or strengthening economic ties - Kosovo talks about all those things and much more with Serbia. Very few state representatives are going to be clear as Morocco's minister of FA, the man was probably afraid of being captured on photo with Pacoli, so his statement ended sounding like "Kosovo citizen has no place sitting in my vicinity", but people generally don't behave like that. I think this video is a very strong argument that official Belgrade wasn't lying.

Good resource and im 100 % that its fabricated lies by Belgrade because we havent seen any evidence of Ghana withdrawing its recognition. Lets put Ghana back to the list of recognition countries and paint it blue in the map! IllyricumShqip (talk) 15:35, 18 November 2022 (UTC)

During her visit on the meeting of Francophone members President Osmani attended aswell with lot of African leaders there and was siting together with Ghana representatives. Reports from Belgrade that Ghana withdraw their recognition couldnt and havent been proven with note verbal so I think we shall put Ghana back to the recognition countries as it was previously before & paint Ghana blue in the map!

Here is an meeting-picture of President Osmani of Kosovo & Ghana representatives sitting together: https://president-ksgov.net/repository/images/main/19_11_2022_2025987_13.jpg?1668881184 — Preceding unsigned comment added by IllyricumShqip (talk • contribs) 06:12, 22 November 2022 (UTC) Once again it shows that every derecognition claim is a lie. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.238.75.117 (talk) 07:57, 27 November 2022 (UTC)

A photograph of two leaders sitting side-by-side does not imply recognition. For example, Serbian heads of state have been pictured sitting at the same table as the leader from Kosovo at several regional meetings, however, Serbia regards Kosovo as part of its country. 174.91.152.136 (talk) 02:39, 6 January 2023 (UTC)

Of course its an lie the Serbian Foreign ministery and minister never showed note verbal of the countries he just said it without proof IllyricumShqip (talk) 11:09, 2 December 2022 (UTC)

As a resident/citizen of Kosovo, you can't apply for a visa at the Embassy of Ghana in Ankara (or their consulate in Istanbul): https://ghanaembassy-turkey.com/ I tried several other embassies of Ghana (Rome, Vienna, Prague) - but no luck. --N Jordan (talk) 22:50, 16 January 2023 (UTC)

Paint Palau blue in the map

I looked at the map and noticed that the point that represents Palau on the map is not colored in blue. Please revise the map and correct Palau on the map. Palau made an official visit to Kosovo in 2022 where they signed to deepen relations further. IllyricumShqip (talk) 05:45, 21 March 2023 (UTC)

Can you please provide link, I couldn't find anything about this alleged visit, or any Palau official statement in favor of Kosovo? 109.245.206.118 (talk) 00:34, 18 June 2023 (UTC)

Kosovo’s ambassador in Tokyo has presented credentials to the president of Palau. It’s therefore safe to say that Palau recognises Kosovo as an independent state. https://www.gazetaexpress.com/republika-e-palaut-rikthen-njohjen-sabri-kicmari-akreditohet-si-ambasador-jo-rezident/

Somebody edited the template and wrote "88" countries. As long as this remains, I'll simply replace this template on this article. Biased and not discussed. AlexBachmann (talk) 20:25, 2 May 2023 (UTC)

Maldives refutes Serbian claims - Maldives recognize Kosovo

The Maldives government has denied Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic's statement claiming that the Maldives had reversed its decision to recognize Kosovo as an independent state.

On 17 February 2024 the President of the Maldives issued a press release on his official website offering greetings to the president and prime minister of Kosovo to mark the coocasion of Kosovo's independence day. This adds further proof that Vucic's claims that the Maldives had de-recognised Kosovo are false. https://presidency.gov.mv/Press/Article/29885 Dn9ahx (talk) 19:35, 19 February 2024 (UTC)

The color for "States which have stated that they do not recognize Kosovo as independent" in the legend for the map should be "#ff5a20" as on the map. IvanLudvig (talk) 21:53, 26 May 2023 (UTC)

Suriname does not recognize Kosovo

As the article itself states, Suriname has withdrawn its recognition of Kosovo: https://www.mfa.gov.rs/en/press-service/statements/serbia-and-suriname-are-friends-and-partners-foreign-ministers-agree It therefore needs to be taken off the list of 101 countries that supposedly recognise Kosovo. Dan Palraz (talk) 20:52, 28 August 2023 (UTC)

President Osmani of Kosovo met with President of Suriname Santokhi in UN Climate Conference and commited to strenghten cooperation.

Suriname does recognize Kosovo.

Grenada

Vjosa Osmani (President of Kosovo) has just posted a meeting with the Prime Minister of Grenada where they stated that they ‘reaffirmed their bilateral relations’ which means they still hold official relations and that Grenada recognises Kosovo. This once again confirms the Serbian propaganda of the ‘derecognition’ of Kosovo! The meeting was also held with the national symbols of Kosovo, which a non-recogniser wouldn’t do. Grenada still recognises Kosovo so add them on the list!!90.255.43.28 (talk) 17:01, 22 September 2023 (UTC)

Both the president of Kosovo and prime minister of Grenada have confirmed "strong diplomatic ties" between the two "countries" on their official social media profiles. Granada's prime minister also explicitly stated that he met with the president of the "Republic of Kosovo". Safe to say that Serbia's claims of Grenada de-recognising Kosovo are false and that Granada can be re-added to the list of recognisers. https://twitter.com/pmogrenada/status/1705389243491930437, https://www.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=pfbid02gaPCYMAXNNBPqjELGzxMtYm5pJJDNJXVUBoDkjNEwHjqsYWMzX4oirqiYGDCesU5l&id=100083240295233&mibextid=qC1gEa&paipv=0&eav=Afbdf9gbKpU9R5hpZGAqN6OMrOqKvrNioiLrvL66LijwodKZJ4Ue4PBtJA7zSRvt76E&_rdr, https://twitter.com/VjosaOsmaniPRKS/status/1705261446303506731 - Dn9ahx (talk) 10:22, 23 September 2023 (UTC)

Costa Rica date of recognition

Costa Rica cited as 18 February 2008 even though in the source it says 17 February (if Google Translate is correct) The Serbian Office for Kosovo and Metohija also says that Costa Rica was the first county to recognize Kosovo. So can somebody confirm if this is correct. No.cilepogača (talk) 20:54, 16 February 2024 (UTC)
