Kosovo’s Foreign Ministry issued a statement rebutting reports from the Serbian Foreign Ministry saying Kosovo was suspended by the World Customs Organization (WCO).  Kosovo authorities said Serbia, backed by Russia, failed to dispute Kosovo’s full membership to WCO and that Kosovo remains a full-fledged member of the organization since January 2017.

Kosovo has officially been accepted as member of the World Customs Organization (WCO) which, according to Koha, is one of the most important membership for Kosovo since joining the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund in 2009. Kosovo’s Foreign Minister, Enver Hoxhaj, thanked Kosovo supporters, particularly the Belgium government and its Foreign Minister, Didier Reynders, for  lobbying in favour of Kosovo joining the organization.
