Jamaican Foreign Minister Kamina Johnson-Smith denied statements of leaders in Pristina that her country recognised Kosovo’s Independence.

Reposting Kosovo president Hashim Thaci’s Tweet, who thanked Jamaica for recognition, Johnson-Smith wrote that her country has not recognised Kosovo. “To date, Jamaica has not recognized Kosovo as an independent state.

It was President Thaci who late on Thursday announced the news and thanked US Congressman Elliot Engel for his contribution.

“Great news! I just got notified from our Ambassador Vlora Citaku that Jamaica has recognized Republic of Kosovo as sovereign and independent. I know this is a result of hard work and lobbying of several years, including Eliot Engel. Good work. Thank you dear friends from Kingston!” Thaci wrote in Twitter. /GazetaExpress/
