The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Kosovo has considered Serbia's statement regarding the recognition of Kosovo's independence by the African country – Kenya, on March 26, 2025, as concerning.

The Ministry stated that Serbia has no interest in normalizing relations with Kosovo, which is confirmed by its statement from yesterday. On Wednesday, Kenya recognized Kosovo's independence, becoming the 118th country to do so.

In response, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Serbia labeled the recognition as a "serious violation of international law."

"Once again, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Government of Serbia have revealed their true face by showing once again that they have no interest in normalizing relations with Kosovo. Their latest statement in response to the sovereign decision of the Republic of Kenya to recognize the Republic of Kosovo confirms that Serbia continues to refuse the fulfillment of its commitments within the Dialogue for normalizing relations, facilitated by the EU," the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Kosovo stated in a press release.

The Ministry said that Serbia continues its campaign of lies, manipulation, and propaganda against Kosovo, using every tool at its disposal to hinder Kosovo's path to full integration into international mechanisms.

"This is not the first time that Serbia has openly disregarded its commitments to the European Union. By refusing to recognize Kosovo and distorting international legal principles, Serbia openly challenges its obligations outlined in Articles 1–5 of the Agreement on the Road to Normalization, reached within the Brussels dialogue. Serbia's refusal to implement these commitments further confirms the lack of good will and sincerity in the normalization process," said the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Furthermore, the Ministry stated that Serbia has no moral authority to lecture any country on, "let alone Kenya, a country that has recognized Kosovo in a fair and legal manner."

"What is even more concerning is that Serbia's statement contains a direct and alarming threat against Kosovo. By declaring that it will defend its ‘sovereignty and territorial integrity with the greatest determination,’ Serbia is signaling again its readiness for aggression," said the MFAK.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Kosovo called on the international community to strongly condemn Serbia’s aggressive rhetoric and its continuous violations of the Brussels Agreement. /KosovaPress
