ALBANIA HOPES MALAYSIA WILL RECOGNISE KOSOVO
KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 31 (Bernama) -- The Republic of Albania hopes that
Malaysia will accept and recognise the independence of The Republic of Kosovo as it would help bring peace and stability in the Balkans.
Its Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Edith Harxhi said the Balkans had
gone through a lot of conflicts and now was the time to forget the past and open
a new chapter.
"And I was assured by the Malaysian government that they are considering
recognising Kosovo as an independent nation. This is because by doing so
(recognising Kosovo), it will help bring stability to the whole Balkan region,"
she said.
She said since 17 February 2008, when Kosovo declared itself to be a
sovereign state, a total of 51 countries had recognised its independence from
Serbia.
Harxhi is on a three day official visit to Malaysia to discuss bilateral
relations and trade between the two countries.
