Periskopi(8 years ago)
(8 years ago)The mission of Serbian diplomacy to reduce the number of countries that have recognised Kosovo as a state has moved to the African continent, where recently the Republic of Burundi has warned of attracting recognition of Kosovo's independence. Last week, Burund Foreign Affairs Minister Alain Aimé Nyamimwe met with his counterpart [...]
Last week, Burund Foreign Affairs Minister Alain Aimé Nyamimwe met with Serbian counterpart Ivica Dacic, with whom they discussed attracting Kosovo's recognition and rebuilding relations between the two states.
In fact, Nyamimwe stated in an interview with the American “Zer” that Burundi will return to its pre-20 2012 position when it recognised Kosovo's independence. But despite the Belgrade Government's stance, the president of this country, Pierre Nkurunziza, still disagrees to withdraw recognition of Kosovo's independence.
But in a letter that Burundi's Ambassador to the United Nations Organisation, Albert Shingiro has sent to Kosovo Prime Minister Ramush Haradinaj and Foreign Minister Behgjet Pacolli has expressed concern for the statements of two foreign deputy ministers in the Government of Kosovo: Gjergj Deday and Anton Berisha.
Deday and Berisha had downplayed Burund's recognition of Kosovo, declaring recognitions by states such as Burundi are not important.
Insander has secured the letter Shingiro has sent to Kosovo's prime minister and top diplomat. It stresses that the decision has not yet been made to withdraw recognition of Kosovo's independence from Burundi.
Shingiro says he will discuss the matter with President Pierre Nkurunziza once he travels to the capital of Burund, Buyumbura.
Burundi Ambassador to the UN letter sent to Prime Minister Haradinaj and Minister Behgjet Pacolli:
I'm working on the issue of recognising Kosovo in Burundi. It is not easy because Serbs have offered many things to them.
But the news we've received from the Serbian mission, that your deputy foreign affairs minister has said it's not important recognition by Burundi will complicate things.
Please explain this to me and if these statements are true, I have no argument with my president.
I will be in Buyumbura soon to discuss this matter, but I will need your help.
I've also heard that Serbs are working with other states in Africa, and the Central African Republic is one of them.
