Pacolli talks about his lobby in Africa, says Serbia is lying about recognition

According to Pacolli, all of his counterparts are well-known to the situation that is currently in Kosovo in terms of relations with Serbia.

I have traveled to Senegal to meet with presidents of African states, I have met several prime ministers, some important people, foreign affairs ministers, my counterparts. At all meetings we talked about the reality that is in Kosovo, Serbia's initiatives that they were well informed about. As you know, Kosovo has 16 recognitions with 88 countries has diplomatic relations from Africa and has recognised 28 countries with 16 of them we have diplomatic relations”, he claims, adding that they will not stop until diplomatic relations are established with other countries.

I have met important people and promised that Serbia will never be able to realise their plans are informed of the way they worked. I have also met with the president of Congo, he has sent a letter asking for a visit on our part, and I have notified the president and Prime Minister”, he says.

Pacolli is claiming that Gambi's president has told him Serbia has forged documents when it declared that they have abolished recognition of Kosovo.

“I've talked to the Gambi president, whom Serbia mentions for the removal of recognition, has had false documentation. Even Liberia's president a state where Serbia claims every day to have recognitions, he says there is absolutely no position movement in terms of connoisseur. The president of Nigeria also had a friendly meeting, these are large states of 200 million people. The president of Rwanda I've met twice”, adds further.

“Even Gunea Bisau's president every time it is written that recognitions are inconsistent, he has informed me of the challenges, their prime minister has been in Belgrade, but that statement has been withdrawn from the president and withdrawn from office and Prime Minister”, Pacolli claims.

Citing several other countries from which he has paid visits with senior representatives, the foreign minister is saying he has received promises from the Nigeria president who will visit Kosovo from where he will be honoured with a title from a university in the country.

The president of Gabon was also ill, but the prime minister attended we have extraordinary relations, even though 90% companies from Serbia are working there. Mali's president is the new president since I frequent the mountain and promised to sit down and talk seriously with other factors instead of recognising Kosovo, they have a problem that a part of the north claims to divide this state, the mountain is the only West African state that has not recognised Kosovo so far. I also met Sudan Foreign Affairs Minister, I believe we have stabilised relations”, he adds.

Kosovo needs friends, it's a small state of partnership with the states of the world is important as I said in Africa we have 54 states, it's the richest continent, as I told you if it's about votes these are dominant”, Pacolli adds, claiming they're working even on restoring relations with European countries that have not recognised the state.

The co-operation with the five countries of Europe we've stopped at a stop-up with organized corporal meetings. With Greece we have good relations, but taxes are difficult, because according to all the information we have many goods go to Greece repacking to come to Kosovo and we have prevented this, Greece sometimes supports Kosovo, sometimes it does not support it. We have no good contact with Cyprus is a little bitter with us because of a visit by a parliamentary delegation who has been to Northern Cyprus, I believe many that these states will one day recognise Kosovo. Spain is trying to make a paragonism with internal problems, but we're working on it, it's not a job to do it, but a big burden on the problems of these countries”, he adds.

As for non-recognitions for a year Pacolli said the lobby cannot be performed for one day, citing also Kenya's case, where it says it has been more than 20 times, to reach a good level of discussion about Kosovo recognition.
