Learning the background, Suriname's minister was in Russia when recognition was withdrawn

Serbian diplomacy has successfully celebrated Suriname's state decision to withdraw recognition of Kosovo's independence, despite the fact that the Kosovo government still does not have that decision.

However, Serbian media have asked what such action is of use to a small and distant state in Serbia.

In a presentation to Television “Prva”, foreign and Serbian diplomats say Suriname's decision is significant, but only if Serbia is ready for a marathon war, Periscope writes.

Serbian media alike question how the letter announcing the withdrawal of recognition has arrived from remote Paramaribo. The veteran director Sreqko Djukiq told television that the road from Suriname leads to Moscow.

“Vlen to say that when the letter was sent to our mission to the UN, Suriname's foreign minister was holding a visit to Moscow”, Djukkiq, who in the past served as Serbia's ambassador to various states, said.

Kosovo Foreign Minister Behgjet Pacolli's statement, where it says there are no practices of attracting recognition of a state, has been answered by former Yugoslav Foreign Minister Vladislav Jovanovic.

Mr. Pacolli, even America has drawn recognition. In the legal and formal sense, Pacolli has a base. Let's recall Taiwan, the state that was also part of the UN Security Council, but had just recognised China, America and other states had cancelled recognition of Taiwan”, Jovanovic said.

But is Suriname's decision a reason to celebrate? British professor James Ker-Linday has no dilemma on this.

Suriname's decision is significant “because there has been an impression that Kosovo's accession from the international community is only one-way. It's the first time a country has withdrawn its decision. This is certainly important. ”

However, Djukkik says there are also risks.

It's possible that there are new recognitions, but a whole process of reverseing, that is, mass recovery, will not happen. We have to be realistic. It is also possible that Americans will pressure all states to recognise Kosovo”, Djukkiq has said.

Recognitions coming from countries that have no interest in Europe are purchased, writes B92.

According to Serbian media, Behgjet Pacolli personally spent money to achieve new recognitions, from countries such as Nauru, Vanautu, and other states in the Pacific islands. /Periscopi/
