But what was the first country to recognise Kosovo as a state?
The first country that has recognised Kosovo as a state is the Republic of Costa Rica. The recognition from this state came the very day Kosovo declared independence.
The following day, Kosovo's independence was recognised by the United States of America, France, Albania, Turkey, Great Britain, Afghanistan, Australia, Senegal, Germany, Latvia, Denmark, Estonia, Italy, Luxembourg, Peru, Belgium, Poland, Switzerland, Austria, Ireland, Sweden, Iceland, Slovenia, Finland, Japan and Canada.
Seventeen years later, the list that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Diaspora has published in Kosovo on its website finds 117 countries that recognise Kosovo.
The last country he recognized was Israel in 2021. That recognition was part of the Washington Agreement between Kosovo and Serbia. Before her, the last country to recognize her was Barbados in 2018. But the intensity of recognition began to decline since 2015.
