"I removed 28 recognitions"/ The Foreign Ministry of Kosovo responds 'flame for flame' to Vucic's statement

The Serbian President, Aleksandër Vucic, declared a day ago that during the years that his party is in power, thanks to his foreign policy, he has removed 28 recognitions of Kosovo's independence.

"It is easy to criticize the government. It has been 11 years since they said that they recognized the independence of Kosovo. But during my government, 28 states withdrew their recognition of Kosovo. Elections are not a game. Citizens decide how their country will be. Libya has more oil than the Arab Emirates, but look at how different the two countries are," said Vucic.

But this has been rejected by the Foreign Ministry of Kosovo. In a reaction to Euronews Albania, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs considered the claim as desperate on the part of Vucic.

"The desperate claim of the Serbian president does not stand. During this governing mandate, there was not a single recognition.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Diaspora is in constant communication and coordination with all countries that have recognized the independence of the Republic of Kosovo, either through diplomatic channels or our strategic partners, and in no case has the possibility of changing the position been discussed. in relation to the Republic of Kosovo as claimed in fake news and destructive media campaigns produced by Serbia. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Diaspora remains committed to increasing the intensity of activities to advance our agenda towards membership in the EU and NATO and other international organizations," says the reaction of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Kosovo to Euronews Albania journalist Kosovë Gjoci. .

In order to secure the next mandate in the December 17 elections, Vucic has made numerous economic promises, which have ignited debates in Serbia. According to him, in 2027 the average salary in Serbia will be 1400 dollars. While in the last few days, he promised 100 euros reward for pensioners as well as a reward package for all students in Serbia. The opposition in Serbia has accused Vucic of promising to recognize Kosovo after the December 17 elections.
