President of Kosovo, Atifete Jahjaga, has been making the most of her visit to the United States. Earlier in her visit, she requested recognition of Kosovo’s independence by Singapore and South Sudan but yesterday she asked the Slovakian President, Andrej Kiska, to do the same. Jahjaga is reported to have briefed Kiska on the progress Kosovo has made and stressed that independence of Kosovo is now an international reality recognised by 108 countries and is irreversible. President Jahjaga said Kosovo remains committed to the dialogue with Serbia and implementation of agreements while President Kiska confirmed Slovakia’s commitment in supporting European integration of the Western Balkans region.
