Liberia withdrew recognition of Kosovo's independence

The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Liberia, Gbezongar Milton Findley, handed today the head of Serbian diplomacy, Ivica Dačić, a note by which Liberia informs Serbia that it has canceled its recognition of the independence of Kosovo.

Dacic said that Liberia's decision is very important for Serbia, because it shows that the process and dialogue are still ongoing.

The note states that this decision will remain in effect until the end of negotiations under the auspices of the EU on the normalization of relations between Belgrade and Pristina.

Liberia recognized Kosovo based on the knowledge that Belgrade is not ready to negotiate with the southern province, according to the note that was presented at the press conference of Dacic and Milton Findley.

It is added that Liberia will respect the agreement between Belgrade and Pristina, and will vote in favor of the agreed solution in the United Nations.
