Kosovo Assembly Speaker Kadri Veseli is travelling to Panama today, a country which has recognized Kosovo’s independence in 2009. Many countries in Latin America, under the influence of Spain’s position, have yet to recognize the independence of Kosovo. “Promoting Kosovo in this continent and consolidating relations with countries of the region is one of our biggest challenges in international relations,” Veseli wrote on his Facebook account.
