Sierra Leone withdraws Kosovo’s recognition
Belgrade/Freetown,
3 March 2020
Dacic, who is on an official visit to the country, said that the Foreign Ministry’s note stated that Sierra Leone has withdrawn recognition of Kosovo as an independent state and will respect the results of the dialogue under the EU and UN mediation.
He pointed out that currently, of the 193 UN member states, 92 countries recognise Kosovo as an independent country, 96 countries do not recognise it, while five countries are in a fluid stance, i.e. they recognise Kosovo, but no longer vote for it, which means Kosovo no longer has a majority in the UN.
The head of Serbian diplomacy said that he had successful talks with the President of the Republic of Sierra Leone in Freetown and that it was agreed that bilateral relations, which had been stalled for years, should be improved.
He announced that the visit of Sierra Leone’s President is expected in June, before which the country’s Foreign Minister will come to Serbia to prepare the visit.
Sierra Leone is the 18th country to withdraw recognition of Kosovo.
