It's OK Federal Republic of Nigeria, just be sure we will be the first to recognize Independent Muslim states in the Federal Republic of Nigeria especially the OIL RICH states, would be a shame to lose those. Heard you have quite a bit of a problem down there 50% muslim mostly in the northern and southwestern OIL RICH states who have no wish to be sharing their oil money with Christians. Heard ethnic tensions are rising and if Kosovo can be independent why not northern Nigeria, why not Texas, why not California, why not Arizona, why not Arab France, why not Turkish Germany, or Turkish Belgium, why not Palestine.

I live in South Africa and it doesn't look like they will recognize Kosovo, not until USA recognizes Palestine as you can see on the news Jacob Zuma has repeatedly been taking Palestine's side, by banning Israeli products and labeling them as been made in occupied Palestinian territory, which is also pretty fair, if Kosovo deserves to be recognized why not Palestine. Julius Malema, future president of South Africa and now soon to be leader of the South African Communist (sorry I meant to say Marxist as Malema identifies himself as Marxist not Communist) revolution doesn't look like he is going to be favoring some little Kosovo thingy in the Balkans

In fact in the further you can expect withdrawal of recognition from Bulgaria, Montenegro, Macedonia, Czech Republic (they apologized to Serbia, and admitted they were forced to) same with Portugal.

Slow down there Pacolli. You're turning into a Pinocchio. Nigeria denies recognizing you and also denied opening up any economic liason office in Pristina. You must have sent your bribe money to an email scam :)

Whenever Kosovo receives recognition which has got to be a source of disappointment or discontent to Jeremic the question is did he ever react by having his blood "boil?",if so, he's acting immature or acting like a spoiled brat if his blood boils.After all,from what I've researched,his year of birth is 1975 which should give us an indication of his age so therefore it is immature for someone at that age to behave like a spoiled brat.

Permanent Mission of Nigeria to the United Nations
New York, NY
16th February, 2011

Let me also join others in thanking His Excellency Mr. Vuk Jeremić, Minister for Foreign Affairs of Serbia, for his very useful statement this afternoon. We would also like to thank Mrs. Vlora Çitaku for her statement and Special Representative of the Secretary-General Lamberto Zannier for his comprehensive update on the situation in Kosovo. 

 Nigeria welcomes the report of the Secretary General (S/2011/43) pursuant to resolution 1244 (1999). We also welcome the continued collaboration between the United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK), the European Union Rule of Law Mission in Kosovo and the other facilitators in fostering peace and stability in Kosovo and the region. However, it is evident from today’s briefings that there are still difficult challenges in Kosovo and in the implementation of resolution 1244 (1999). That situation requires the careful consideration of the Council.

 In that regard, we want to observe that UNMIK continues to operate in difficult circumstances, with sustained media attacks undermining efforts by the Mission to fully deliver on its mandate. We deplore those attacks and urge restraint on the part of the parties involved. Nigeria believes that UNMIK still has an important role to play and that its presence and support is required to bolster efforts at assisting the communities to overcome their various challenges.

 Nigeria shares the Secretary-General’s concerns about the fragile security situation in northern Kosovo. Inter-ethnic tensions and attacks against the minority communities, as well as members of the international community, undermine the prospects for peace and stability in the territory. We believe that the perpetrators of crimes should be properly brought to justice, and efforts made to reach out to the victims. It is important to prevent such incidents from reoccurring by enhancing the necessary mechanisms for the protection of lives and property and by promoting mutual tolerance, harmony and coexistence among the people.

 Nigeria remains convinced that sustained dialogue is indispensable to achieving a mutually acceptable solution to all outstanding issues in Kosovo. The parties should therefore remain fully committed to dialogue, in furtherance of General Assembly 64/298, adopted on 9 September 2010. We urge the parties to redouble their efforts to commence that process in the shortest possible time, taking into account the specific circumstances and concerns of all communities. The resulting overall peace dividend would be far-reaching for Kosovo and the region, as it would not only address the problem of insecurity but also open up economic opportunities for the various communities. 

 On the issue of illicit trafficking in human organs in Kosovo, highlighted in the Secretary-General’s report, Nigeria considers it a very serious human rights issue that requires an international investigation, taking into account the various jurisdictions involved in the matter. We encourage UNMIK to provide the support that may be necessary to the process.

 We welcome the increased support for returnees recorded during the reporting period. Efforts should be deployed to address concerns over the viability of conditions of return, including security, access to public services, housing and property rights and  socio-economic opportunities. The absence of these critical elements will constrain efforts to promote the sustainable return of displaced persons, as well as reconciliation, longer-term stability and the development of Kosovo.

 We commend the Special Representative of the Secretary-General and his team for their unrelenting efforts in promoting peace and stability in Kosovo, as well as the region, and assure the Mission of our continued support.

No, this method only works on small countries like the tropical islands or the African kingdoms/dictatorships that recently recognized Kosovo. Nigeria is at least two numbers too big to buy. And I'm not sure if it's really drug money, if the money is taken from the Kosovo budget (== donor money) or it was in fact money coming from Pacolli's own companies he used to buy recognitions.

i can not believe how our serbian friends jumps at everything Jeremic says. Jeremic told that guinea bissau de-recognized Kosovo and 2 more coming. Nothing happened.Gabon and Nigeria have recognized Kosovo after Jeremic talked about 2 de-recognitions. Now Jeremic is saying some officals in Nigeria say they have never recognized Kosovo. Pacolli got this recognition from Goodluck Jonathan himself. And we will see who is right or wrong.. People keep saying how corrupt africa is bla bla bla. Yes we buy the recognitions we bought from Denmark, Norway and Canada too.. Kosovo has so much money to buy recognition even from Japan.

No Predrag, tax payers money, from Kosovo, the EU and US. This means another two school don't get built and the people of Kosovo remain as ignorant as ever. If people there were educated then they would object to money being spent on so-called "recognitions" instead of the well being of the locals. Whether Nigeria really recognized Kosovo is still to be seen as there is something very fishy about this whole recognition process. The reason some countries didn't want this exposed with an UN vote.

Predrag - you obviously may taking from personal experience. Not all African nations are corrupt and drug money does not buy recognition from a 150M + country. Accept the fact that Serbia will never rule Kosova - ever again - and it may also loose parts of Vojvodina. focus on getting Krajina and dont worry about Kosova.

 In that regard, we want to observe that UNMIK continues to operate in difficult circumstances, with sustained media attacks undermining efforts by the Mission to fully deliver on its mandate. We deplore those attacks and urge restraint on the part of the parties involved. Nigeria believes that UNMIK still has an important role to play and that its presence and support is required to bolster efforts at assisting the communities to overcome their various challenges.

 Nigeria shares the Secretary-General’s concerns about the fragile security situation in northern Kosovo. Inter-ethnic tensions and attacks against the minority communities, as well as members of the international community, undermine the prospects for peace and stability in the territory. We believe that the perpetrators of crimes should be properly brought to justice, and efforts made to reach out to the victims. It is important to prevent such incidents from reoccurring by enhancing the necessary mechanisms for the protection of lives and property and by promoting mutual tolerance, harmony and coexistence among the people.

 Nigeria remains convinced that sustained dialogue is indispensable to achieving a mutually acceptable solution to all outstanding issues in Kosovo. The parties should therefore remain fully committed to dialogue, in furtherance of General Assembly 64/298, adopted on 9 September 2010. We urge the parties to redouble their efforts to commence that process in the shortest possible time, taking into account the specific circumstances and concerns of all communities. The resulting overall peace dividend would be far-reaching for Kosovo and the region, as it would not only address the problem of insecurity but also open up economic opportunities for the various communities. 

 On the issue of illicit trafficking in human organs in Kosovo, highlighted in the Secretary-General’s report, Nigeria considers it a very serious human rights issue that requires an international investigation, taking into account the various jurisdictions involved in the matter. We encourage UNMIK to provide the support that may be necessary to the process.

 We welcome the increased support for returnees recorded during the reporting period. Efforts should be deployed to address concerns over the viability of conditions of return, including security, access to public services, housing and property rights and  socio-economic opportunities. The absence of these critical elements will constrain efforts to promote the sustainable return of displaced persons, as well as reconciliation, longer-term stability and the development of Kosovo.

 We commend the Special Representative of the Secretary-General and his team for their unrelenting efforts in promoting peace and stability in Kosovo, as well as the region, and assure the Mission of our continued support.

And I'm not sure if it's really drug money, if the money is taken from the Kosovo budget (== donor money) or it was in fact money coming from Pacolli's own companies he used to buy recognitions.

Whenever Kosovo receives recognition which has got to be a source of disappointment or discontent to Jeremic the question is did he ever react by having his blood "boil?",if so, he's acting immature or acting like a spoiled brat if his blood boils.After all,from what I've researched,his year of birth is 1975 which should give us an indication of his age so therefore it is immature for someone at that age to behave like a spoiled brat.

It's OK Federal Republic of Nigeria, just be sure we will be the first to recognize Independent Muslim states in the Federal Republic of Nigeria especially the OIL RICH states, would be a shame to lose those. Heard you have quite a bit of a problem down there 50% muslim mostly in the northern and southwestern OIL RICH states who have no wish to be sharing their oil money with Christians. Heard ethnic tensions are rising and if Kosovo can be independent why not northern Nigeria, why not Texas, why not California, why not Arizona, why not Arab France, why not Turkish Germany, or Turkish Belgium, why not Palestine.

I live in South Africa and it doesn't look like they will recognize Kosovo, not until USA recognizes Palestine as you can see on the news Jacob Zuma has repeatedly been taking Palestine's side, by banning Israeli products and labeling them as been made in occupied Palestinian territory, which is also pretty fair, if Kosovo deserves to be recognized why not Palestine. Julius Malema, future president of South Africa and now soon to be leader of the South African Communist (sorry I meant to say Marxist as Malema identifies himself as Marxist not Communist) revolution doesn't look like he is going to be favoring some little Kosovo thingy in the Balkans

In fact in the further you can expect withdrawal of recognition from Bulgaria, Montenegro, Macedonia, Czech Republic (they apologized to Serbia, and admitted they were forced to) same with Portugal.
