BELGRADE, June 20 (Xinhua/ GNA) – Liberia
revokes the recognition of independence of Kosovo, the country’s Foreign
Minister Gbehzohngar Milton Findley informed his Serbian counterpart Ivica
Dacic in Belgrade on Wednesday.
Findley gave Dacic an official note of
Liberia, notifying him that the country no longer recognizes the unilaterally
declared independence of Serbian southern province of Kosovo and Metohija that
seceded in 2008.
At a press conference after the meeting,
Findley confirmed to journalists that “the government of Liberia has
recognized the fact that Belgrade and Pristina have ongoing negotiations under
EU patronage, so Liberia is withdrawing the recognition of independence of
Kosovo, while these talks are in progress”.
Dacic expressed in a government release
“immense gratitude to Liberia for understanding Serbia’s position”,
estimating that this is important for the overall process of dialogue between
authorities in Belgrade and Pristina so that they can reach a just and compromise
solution.
