The Belgrade newspaper "Politika" uses the occasion of the warning of the Serbian Foreign Minister Ivica Dacic, to announce today "the name of the sixth country that attracts the recognition of Kosovo", to ironize with the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Kosovo, Behgjet Pacolli.
"After every official announcement by a country that it has made a decision to withdraw the recognition of Kosovo, Behgjet Pacolli replies via Twitter that Belgrade is making up stories", writes this newspaper, Koha.net reports.
"Policy" further adds:
"The five Latin American and African countries - Suriname, Guinea-Bissau, Liberia, Burundi and Sao Tome and Principe, that have withdrawn their decisions on the recognition of Kosovo, these days have been joined by one - "five times larger than Serbia, it is not from Africa, while Kosovo recognized its independence six years ago". Ivica Dacic has hidden from the public which country it is about, until today or tomorrow the official note arrives, since otherwise it would be subjected to great pressure from Pristina's western allies. The description of Dacic, as speculated these days in the media, mostly corresponds to Papua New Guinea", writes this newspaper.
According to this newspaper, "Liberia was subjected to the pressures, which Dacic is talking about, a week ago. Just a few hours after the Foreign Minister of Serbia and his Liberian colleague Gbezongar Milton Findley in Belgrade showed this country's note canceling the recognition of Kosovo's independence, the American and British ambassadors asked the new president George Weah to receive the minister of Foreign Affairs of Kosovo, Behgjet Pacolli.

And so Pacolli traveled to Manrovia, met with the Liberian president and wrote on Twitter and Facebook that Liberia strongly supports Kosovo's membership in international organizations, as well as that it will open an embassy in Pristina. Even before this time, despite Findli's public announcement and the note through which he proved his country's position, Pacolli claimed that Belgrade was making up stories and referred to the website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of that country. While on the site there was an announcement that "The Government of Liberia denies the reports on some social networks about the termination of diplomatic relations with Kosovo. Meanwhile, Daëq clarified that this information was placed on the website by the deputy minister of foreign affairs of this country, who, as he said, is an Albanian lobbyist", writes "Politika", reports Koha.net.
