Skender Hiseni, appointed by the government in Pristina as its foreign minister, made the announcement, and said that he was notified about this decision made by the African country. Pristina: Malawi recognizes Kosovo Albanian media in Kosovo are saying that this is the 64th country to make the decision, "but the first after the debate on the legality of the Kosovo independence proclamation before the Internal Court of Justice (ICJ)". The ICJ earlier this month ended the public hearing in the case, and is expected to rule during 2010. Kosovo's ethnic Albanians in February 2008 unilaterally proclaimed independence. 22 out of 27 EU member countries recognized the declaration, as did the United States, but Russia opposes it. Kosovo has not been able to join the UN, while Belgrade rejected the unilateral proclamation, and considers it an illegal act of secession.
