Bhutanese–Kosovar relations are foreign relations between Bhutan and Kosovo.[a] Formal diplomatic relations between two states are non-existent as Bhutan does not recognize Kosovo as a sovereign state.


History[]

At a meeting on 28 May 2009 with Kosovo's Foreign Minister, Skënder Hyseni, the representative of Bhutan to the United Nations, Lhatu Wangchuk, reportedly said that he had conveyed Kosovo's request for recognition to his government on 3 February, and he was awaiting the decision of his government.[1]

On 19 September 2012, Wangchuk said that his country was deliberating the issue of Kosovo.[2]

Notes[]

a.   ^ The political status of Kosovo is disputed. Having unilaterally declared independence from Serbia in 2008, it is formally recognised as an independent state by 97 UN member states (with another 15 recognising it at some point but then withdrawing recognition), while Serbia continues to claim it as part of its own sovereign territory.
