Egypt joins BRICS and withdraws recognition of Kosovo
The Egyptian government has withdrawn its recognition of the Republic of Kosovo after ten years. This was reported by journalist Vladimir Solovyov.
“Egypt has withdrawn its recognition of Kosovo and called for Serbia’s territorial integrity and respect for the borders as they are,” the journalist wrote in his Telegram channel.
Egypt recognised Kosovo’s independence in June 2013. Kosovo even has a liaison office in Cairo. In 2021, Egyptian authorities noted that they were taking a position on the republic as a “frozen” recognition. That meant that Egypt did not vote for Pristina’s membership in international organisations. Now the recognition has been withdrawn altogether.
Recall that last month Russia supported Egypt’s bid to join BRICS. According to Ambassador to Cairo Georgy Borisenko, joining BRICS would open broad political and economic opportunities for Egyptians, including increasing their weight in world affairs and participating in the creation of alternative mechanisms of payments to the dollar.
