Vatican will not recognize Kosovo

The Vatican has no plans to recognize Kosovo nor will it tackle that question says the state secretariat at the Holy See.

Kosovo separatist media reported on Friday that a Vatican representative at the UN allegedly told Skender Hyseni that it will consider recognizing Kosovo.

“We believe that the question [of Kosovo] is still open, it is discussed at the UN. New proposals are still set forth and plans that need to be implemented,” government of Vatican was quoted as saying.

Vatican seeks to improve its relationship with the Orthodox Church and views the Serbian Orthodox Church as an ally with who it can continue with the Ecumenical dialogue.

“Position of the holy See on the independence of Kosovo is known, and that position Vatican will not change,” says the government.
