Magic 97: Why it's important for number of states recognizing Kosovo to be below this figure
Telegraf 05.08.2019
Foreign Minister Ivica Dacic says Pristina's list of countries that recognize Kosovo has been "completely torn apart" - and added that Serbia's goal is for that number to drop below 97 countries, which is less than half of UN member-states
The decisions of several countries to withdraw their recognition of Kosovo's independence has had a strong impact among the public, and although Pristina denies that happened, Belgrade has evidence and official diplomatic notes in its hands. Out of the 117 countries Pristina claims have recognized Kosovo's independence, Nigeria, Uganda and Mali never did so in the first place, while 14 have withdrawn their decision to recognize Kosovo.
