Recognition Of Kosovo : No Good Reason To Deny Dhaka press has reported that the government is in dilemma over the issue of recognising Kosovo as the United States is trying to pursue Bangladesh for its recognition while Dhaka is focusing on strengthening its ties with Moscow in various areas including that of nuclear power plant. Foreign ministry officials said that Washington had been trying to pursue Dhaka for its support to the Muslim majority nation of the Balkan since Kosovo, which became independent after a brutal battle with Serbian forces. 'On the other hand, Russia, immediately after Kosovo's independence, formally requested Bangladesh not to recognise the tiny Balkan nation,' said an official.James F Moriarty, the US ambassador in Dhaka, on Monday once again approached Bangladesh to persuade it to recognise the Muslim majority of Balkan republic when he called on the foreign minister, Dipu Moni at the latter's office. He told reporters that he had again referred to the issue of recognition for Kosovo and requested Bangladesh to quickly review the issue and move forward with it positively, if possible. Moriarty said so far some 58 countries, including Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Malaysia and Turkey, had recoginsed the tiny country. Foreign minister, Dipu Moni told reporters that the issue was pending in the International Court of Justice upon the request of Serbia and the OIC as an organisation did not take any decision over the issue.'So we will take our decision taking into consideration the relevant developments as well as various aspects of the issue,' she said. We feel that there is no good reason to deny recognition of Kosova.It was under brutal suppression by Serbia and when the Kosovo Revolted Serbia used most inhuman methods to keep it under control.The brutality reached such proportion that at one point NATO intervened and thereby Kosova became independent. Russia has no good reason to interfere in the decision of Bangladesh .It was not Russian territory .Indeed Kosova is one of the worst examples of brutality which happened because of ethnic reason. Serbia is Slav and orthodox Christian on the other hand Kosovans are of Albanian origin and Muslims.We ask the government of Bangladesh to give immediate recognition to Kosova.
