Malaysia has abolished visa requirements for Kosovo citizens, allowing Kosovo passport holders to travel to Malaysia without a visa. They will be able to stay in Malaysia for 30 days without a visa if they hold a Kosovo passport.
The Kosovo government has praised Malaysia’s move, calling it an important step in developing relations between the two countries. According to the news, the Kosovo president said she would visit Malaysia next week and open a Kosovo embassy in the country.
Taiwan and Israel had previously announced that they would end visa requirements for Kosovo passport holders, and Kosovo citizens will be able to travel to Israel without a visa from May this year.
Which countries recognize Kosovo and which ones don’t?
Kosovo is still not recognized by some countries, but the government of this country is trying to have its country recognized by all countries of the world.
Kosovo declared independence from Serbia on February 17, 2008. Since then, many countries around the world have officially recognized Kosovo as an independent state.
About half of the United Nations member states (about 100 countries) have officially recognized Kosovo, including the United States, Britain, France, Germany, and most of the European Union.
On the other hand, a number of countries still do not recognize Kosovo as an independent state.
These countries include Serbia, Russia, China, India, and Spain. These countries argue that Kosovo is part of Serbia and that a unilateral declaration of independence should not be recognized under international law. In addition, some countries refuse to recognize Kosovo due to their own internal separatist tendencies.
Overall, the issue of Kosovo’s recognition remains a contentious issue in international politics.
Although Kosovo is treated as an independent country in most parts of the world, it is not a full member of the United Nations, as Russia and China have veto power in the Security Council and have not allowed Kosovo to formally become a member of the United Nations.
The continuation of this status quo has placed restrictions on Kosovo in the international arena.
