During a press conference, Prime Minister of the Republic of Kosovo Hashim Thaçi  announced that "Romania and Slovakia have recognized the Republic of Kosovo passports," expressing gratitude for both countries' contribution on maintaining the stability in the Balkans. Thaci also thanked Portugal for recognizing the independence of Kosovo.

Romania and Slovakia are two other countries that have not recognized Kosovo independence yet.

Prime Minister Thaçi speaking of Serbia's current behaviors said that "Serbia is following regressive steps, resembling to those of Milosevic times."

Thaçi  added that "Unfortunately, nothing good can be expected from Serbia right now. Genocide and terror committed against Kosovars by Serbia state are still fresh in the minds of every citizen. However, Kosovar citizens are willing to live peacefully with its neighbors including Serbia."

"Today, Kosovo is an independent and sovereign state, its independence is an irreversible and Serbia must understand that. Nothing can change today's reality in Kosovo. We are here to build a prosperous country and defend it by all means," concluded Thaçi.
