Central African Republic does not recognise independence of Kosovo

Belgrade, 27 July 2019

First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Ivica Dacic announced today that the Central African Republic is the 14th country that has withdrawn or suspended its position not to recognise the independence of Kosovo.

Appearing on Radio-Television of Serbia (RTS), Dacic showed the official note he received last night from that country, which he visited last year and where he talked with the president.

He pointed out that Pristina claims that the Central African Republic has recognised Kosovo, explaining that during his visit to that country last year, its president expressed astonishment over this.

After our request, as he said, they have made a small investigation whether there is a decision about it or not, finding that there is no position that the Central African Republic recognises Kosovo's independence.

The Central African Republic is the 14th country that has thus declared itself. Kosovo claims that it has 116 countries that recognise its independence, and now that number has fallen below 100. Our goal is to keep it under a half of the members of the United Nations, said Dacic.

He specified that the Republic of Palau, Madagascar, Solomon Islands, Lesotho, Suriname, Granada, Union of the Comoros, Burundi, Dominica, Sao Tome and Principe, Liberia, Guinea-Bissau, Papua New Guinea have so far done so.
