Somali recognizes Kosovo independence
Somali became the 69th country that recognized the independence of Kosovo.
“Republic of Somalia has recognized on May 19, officially the Republic of Kosovo as both independent and sovereign state,” said the statement of the Foreign Ministry of the Republic of Kosovo.
It stresses that “Somalia realizes the contribution Kosovo made for the peaceful and stable coexistence in Balkans.”
Kosovo has declared about its independence unilaterally in 2008 on February 17. Serbia, Russia, China, India and a series of countries refuse the recognition of independence of Kosovo.
