![]() Portugal recognizes Kosovo
"It is in the interests of the state of Portugal to proceed today to the official recognition of Kosovo as an independent and sovereign country. We are convinced that now independence of Kosovo is irreversible," Portuguese Foreign Minister Luis Amado told the Foreign Committee of the Portuguese Parliament.
According to the RTK report, Portuguese authorities will soon contact their Kosovo counterparts.
Portugal becomes the 22 European Union and 48 overall to recognize Kosovo. EU countries still to recognize are Cyprus, Slovakia, Spain, Greece and Romania.
