The Republic of Kosovo Ambassador to the Kindgom of Saudi Arabia, Rexhep Boja, through a telephone conversation with Koha.net news portal confirmed "that participants of the Conference unanimously supported the request for recognition made by Kosovo Ministry of Foreign Affairs, putting the call for recognition among the conclusions of the meeting."
