Bosnia and Herzegovina did not recognize the independence of Kosovo and accordingly will not support its membership in the international organisations, Bosnia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said on Thursday following the announcement of Kosovo’s candidacy for membership in the Interpol, TV N1 Sarajevo reports.
The ministry recalled that Bosnia and Herzegovina did not recognize “the self-proclaimed independence of so-called Kosovo and, in accordance with that, does not support the applications for its membership in the international and regional organisations, therefore it will not support a possible candidacy for the membership of so-called Kosovo in Interpol.”
The exception, according to the ministry’s statement, is the participation of this region that declared independence from Serbia in 2008 in certain international and regional initiatives, which was previously harmonized with Serbia.
