Kosovo declared its independence from Serbia in 2008 but is not a member of the United Nations because of the reactions of Belgrade and its allies, Russia and China, countries that have a veto on the Security Council.
Kenya recognized Kosovo as an independent state, the first country to do so in 2020.
Kosovo declared its independence from Serbia in 2008 but is not a member of the United Nations because of the reactions of Belgrade and its allies, including Russia and China, countries that have a veto on the Security Council.
More than 110 countries, including the US and many European ones, have recognized Kosovo.
The announcement was made by former Kosovo President Benzet Paccoli, who posted photos on his facebook page with Kenya President William Ruto signing the recognition letter.
“I went from door to door, from office to office, with one goal: to hear the voice and right of the people of Kosovo for freedom, independence and national sovereignty,” Patsoli said, noting that he is fighting with this goal since 2009.
The last country to recognize Kosovo was Israel in September 2020.
