![]() Czech Republic recognizes Kosovo
The Czech centre-right government approved a proposal to enter into
diplomatic relations with Kosovo, a step that amounts to Kosovo
recognition, the ministry said in a statement.
The United States and European Union heavyweights Germany and France are among several dozen countries which have recognized Kosovo since it unilaterally declared independence on February 17. The Czech Republic was lukewarm to Kosovo's independence declaration, avoiding the first recognition wave.

... Czech president defies Prague decision! Czech President Vaclav Klaus received Serbian ambassador Vladimir Veres who was recalled from Prague for consultations in reaction to the Czech government's having recognised Kosovo's independence last week, as the US criticized Pristina for poor recognition lobbying efforts. Klaus made it clear earlier he was taken by surprise by the cabinet's decision. Meanwhile, in Pristina, Assistant to the U.S. Secretary of State Rosemary DiCarlo said the U.S. is unsatisfied with the work of the Kosovo's institutions in the lobbying process. DiCarlo is understood to have said during a recent visit to Kosovo that "part of the joint plan between the United States and Kosovo was to achieve 97 recognitions by September. After that, Kosovo was supposed to apply for a membership of the UN General Assembly", an unnamed source told Television Kosovo. According to the source, that plan might fall through owing to the relatively small number of countries that have recognized Kosovo and the inefficiency of the Kosovo government. |
