These are the statements of deputy ministers that can cost Kosovo with the withdrawal of Burundi's recognition.

Kosovar deputy ministers: Gjergj Dedaj and Anton Berisha have humiliated the Burund Republic in two scandalous statements given over the past month, when they have declared that it is not important a possible withdrawal of the recognition of Kosovo's independence by Burundi.

Deputy Foreign Affairs Minister Anton Berisha, who comes from the ranks of the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo (AAK), has said there is no weight in recognising independence from the state of Burundi.

“There is no weight in either recognition or non-recognition of Burundi, I believe Serbia will make them the subject of this nature that with Kosovo's independence conflict. We are in Independence, on holiday it takes a state once Guinea Bissau and makes these topics vain, they are already recycling the topic”, Berisha said on February 17th, when Serbia had announced that Burundi would attract recognition of Kosovo's independence.

And a similar statement has been made by other Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs George Deday. He also declared several days ago that it is not important not to recognise Kosovo's independence from a state like Burundi.

For me as deputy minister of the MPJ, historical and sustainable were US, the European Union, Canada, Australia, Japan, neighbouring countries and former Yugoslav republics such as Croatia and Slovenia, as for several states like Burundi, Bangladesh, Madagascar, or similar, which are not serious and do not represent surveys in global international policies”, Dedaj had said.

And these statements by two deputy ministers, Dedaj and Berisha, could cost Kosovo at the loss of recognition of Burundi's independence.

As the Burund government has expressed itself ready to withdraw recognition of the state of Kosovo, it is the president of this country, Pierre Nakurziza, who has not yet drawn recognition of Kosovo's independence.

And in a letter the Ambassador of the Republic of Burundi to the United Nations Organisation (OKB), Albert Shingiru has sent to Kosovo Prime Minister Ramush Haradinaj and top diplomat Ramush Haradinaj, he says such statements by Kosovo deputy ministers would complicate the jobs of Burund officials who are in favour of Kosovo.

“I am 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 my affairs”, highlighted in the letter Shingiru sent to Haradinaj and Pacolli.

Please explain this to me and if these statements are true, I have no argument at my president's”, says Shingiru's letter, reports Insader.

Last week, Burund Foreign Affairs Minister Alain Aimé Nyammites met with Serbian counterpart Ivica Dacic, with whom they discussed attracting Kosovo's recognition and rebuilding relations between the two states.

Nyammite stated in an interview with the “Voice of America” that Burundi will return to its pre-20 2012 position when it recognised Kosovo's independence.

However, despite the Belgrade Government's stance, the president of this country, Pierre Nkurunziza, still disagrees to withdraw recognition of Kosovo's independence.

Burundi is a country of population at least five times more than Kosovo (over 10 million people) and is located in the central part of the African continent.
