A frequent game in Kosovo-Serbia relations is played around claims related to
this issue. Does Papua New Guinea recognise Kosovo? Did Sao Tome and Principe
ever? A massive amount of work goes into creating something like
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_recognition_of_Kosovo#Withdrawn_recognition
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_recognition_of_Kosovo#Withdrawn_recognition>
, and if you ask diplomats how many countries recognise Kosovo, the most
prudent will not give you a number but an approximation.
