In an interview for the AP, he added that he "firmly felt and believed" that "they have already recognized it without saying so."

"This visit is an indicator of the normalisation of relations between Kosovo and Serbia as two independent and sovereign states," Hoxhaj said in a statement.

While refusing to recognise the independence of its former southern province, Serbia has agreed to improve relations with Kosovo for the sake of its integration into the EU.
