Through a long and cordial phone conversation that Republic of Kosovo Foreign Minister Skënder Hyseni had last night with the Republic of Panama Foreign Minister Samuel Lewis Navarro was announced that Panama has recognized the independent and sovereign state of Kosovo.

Navarro, who is also the deputy president of Panama, informed Hyseni that the verbal note of recognition will be delivered today to the Charge D'affaires of the Republic of Kosovo in Washington, Avni Spahiu.

During the conversation, foreign ministers of the two countries said they would work further for the development and strengthening of bilateral relations. Panama will also work to convince its neighbors to recognize Kosovo.

Panama is the 54th state to recognize Kosovo independence, declared on 17 February 2008.

first of many for the new year :)

@john frank

any icj ruling will be non-binding... no court or organization can dictate to a country whom they can or cannot recognize. To imply anything else is wishfull if not desperate thinking... not to mention more than a little a sad.

will not matter. Once the international law is in force will mean nothing.
Kosovo is Serbia

You are an idiot. How your black hearts will be broken when the ICJ Rules for Kosova


Yet another American puppet recognized you. You should be proud of yourselves
You are a Russian puppet. Always have and always will be.

THANK YOU PANAMA!!
