Silence in Serbia, media there no words for Israel's recognition of Kosovo

Although this event was one of the mains in the region and beyond, the media and Serbian officials have not given any importance to it.

In media reports there, the headline was the visit of the Serbian president to France, while only between the lines has the historic event that Kosovo has been recognised officially by one of the most powerful and influential states in international relations.

Only after meeting with France's president, Emanuel Makoron, Vucic asked for Kosovo's recognition by Israel, said that after diplomatic relations were established, no Muslim country would want to recognise Kosovo's independence.

Kosovo and Israel have formalised recognition at a virtual ceremony held today. While many international media have written about this event.

This is the first time Israel has established relationships with a country virtually.

It should also be noted that the closure of Ben Guron's airport was made in order to prevent the spread of the coronary ceremony could not be held physically but only virtually.

This recognition was reached with the agreement signed at the White House in Washington on September 4th 2020.

Kosovo had so far not recognised Israel, not because its Muslim majority opposed it, but because Israel had not yet recognised Kosovo. Ironically, Israel refused to recognise Kosovo because it did not want to back a unilateral declaration of citizenship, for which Jerusalem feared it could create a dangerous precedent followed by Palestinians, according to The Times of Israel.
