Equatoguinean–Kosovar relations are foreign relations between Equatorial Guinea and Kosovo.[a] Formal diplomatic relations between two states are non-existent as Equatorial Guinea does not recognize Kosovo as a sovereign state.
History[]
On 1 September 2010, Equatorial Guinea's Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Anatolio Ndong Mba, said during a press conference that his country's foreign policy favours Kosovo's independence.[1] In September 2011, the President of Equatorial Guinea, Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo, was reported to have responded positively to a request for recognition by Kosovo.[2]
On 21 November 2011, in a meeting with First Deputy Prime Minister of Kosovo, Behgjet Pacolli, President Obiang reportedly promised to immediately begin formalising the recognition of Kosovo.[3] In January 2012, Pacolli's advisor Jetlir Zyberaj stated that Kosovo had received confirmation of recognition from Equatorial Guinea but was awaiting receipt of the note verbale.[4]

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. |
