Egypt advocates for resolution of the Kosovo issue through the dialogue between Belgrade and Pristina, President of Egypt Abdel Fattah El-Sisi said during the meeting with the Serbian National Assembly Speaker Maja Gojkovic in Cairo, RTS reports.

Gojkovic thanked Egypt for supporting Serbia’s interests during the voting on international forums.

“We have received an absolute support for our efforts to find a lasting and compromise solution through the dialogue between Belgrade and Pristina and we can count on Egypt’s support,” Gojkovic said following the meeting.

Kosovo independence, respectively recognition or non-recognition of it, is not the main topic of the visit of the Egyptian Foreign Affairs Minister, Sameh Shoukry to Belgrade, Ivica Dacic told Tanjug news agency.

Relations between the two countries are the main topic of the visit, Dacic added.

Shoukry’s visit to Serbia has no relation to the eventual decision of Egypt to define its relation towards Kosovo, and according to Dacic, this relation, at the moment could be described “as frozen recognition of Kosovo.”

Egypt is nearing to a decision to revoke recognition of Kosovo, and the final agreement on the matter could be made during the visit of the Egypt Foreign Affairs Minister to Belgrade, Vecernje Novosti daily reports today.

According to the daily, diplomatic struggle of Serbia to make Cairo 11^th country in a row to revoke recognition of Kosovo is ongoing for months, and the strengthening of fraction in Egypt that believes the time has come to reconsider decision on Kosovo also goes in Serbia’s favor.

Ivica Dacic has said that Thursday's visit of the Egyptian parliament speaker should not be linked to Egypt revoking its recognition of Kosovo.

Moreover, the Serbian foreign minister continued, the case of Egypt recognizing Kosovo is "not entirely clear" - as there is no written evidence of it.

One of the main topics of a visit of the Egypt's parliamentary delegation to Belgrade would be revoking decision to recognize Kosovo, Belgrade based daily Vecerenje Novosti writes today.

According to daily’s diplomatic sources there is a will in Egypt to change the decision made five years ago, but they are awaiting for the right moment.

Novosti recalled Egypt only verbally recognized southern Serbian province on 26 June 2013 while the Muslim Brotherhood was still in power, however without sending a diplomatic note.

Ivica Dacic says Liberia's withdrawal of the recognition of Kosovo is only one in a series, while about ten more countries are reviewing their decisions.

Egypt recognized Kosovo only verbally, without any paper or note, in June 2013, three days before the fall of the Muslim Brotherhood, Politika daily writes today.

According to the daily, it represents a rather weak form of recognition, and even the then Ministry of Foreign Affairs was against such decision, adding there was no exchange on notes between the Egyptian and Kosovo foreign ministries, and the recognition was made only through a statement of the then spokesperson of the ministry, Badr Abdel Aty.
