According to a website that has a list of countries that have recognized the unilaterally declared independence, Guinea Bissau is listed as allegedly doing so on January 14, 2011.
But speaking in Belgrade today, Embalo said he never saw any document that would confirm his country had indeed recognized Kosovo.
"If one of you has some paper, you should show it to me, I have searched everywhere and found nothing," he told a joint news conference with Serbia's Foreign Minister Ivica Dacic.
Dacic remarked that "if previous authorities of Guinea Bissau recognized Kosovo, that doesn't mean the current government is behind it."
Umaro Sissoco Embalo, who has been the prime minister since November 2016, was also received today by Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic, with whom he discussed bilateral relations, improving economic cooperation, and regional issues.
This African country did not support Pristina's failed 2015 bid to join UNESCO.
Several years ago, there were dilemmas about the actions of Sao Tome and Principe when it comes to recognizing Kosovo, and there was also a mention of revocations of recognition by African countries that remained unnamed.
During a summit of the Non-Aligned Movement(NAM) in Belgrade media reported that Oman and Guinea Bissau had revoked their recognitions, but this was later denied.
Vuk Jeremic, at the time Serbia's foreign minister, said that these two countries never recognized Kosovo in the first place, and that he received assurances of this from their officials, adding that "two NAM countries had launched procedures to revoke their recognitions."
KOSOVO is independent will always stay independent and because one african prime minister said that did not recognised it do you really think that that is goind to matter do not waste your time people Kosovo is a free contry will stay that way and let the afrian contries in africa I could care less about their recognition. GOD BLESS KOSOVO and the people of KOSOVO wherevere they are.
To all the serbs, stop wasting your time that KOSOVONis SERBIA never in your DREAMS so dont waste your time but be smart and move forward with your economy you have better things to worry about your country.

Oh no! This hits us so hard when noname african states are going to refuse our boardes. Hahaha, will you send any tanks to proof it :P?
Dear prime minister we could run over your country (I don't even know the name of your country) in a matter of hours but we have no interests in settling into Africa xD Lucky for you!
But lets be serious for one second: Your country has a central bank, but Kosovo doesn't and you are still suffering much more poverty than Kosovo does.
Think about it.

So the Prime Minister of Guinea Bissau arrives in Belgrade and announces to the world that his country never recognised Kosovo, and you claim he does not know his country’s diplomatic process, but you do. Do you have any idea what a Prime Minister is? He is the head of the government and it is the Prime Minister that would have had to approve the recognition of Kosovo not his diplomatic staff or the Minister for Foreign Affairs.
You must be really affected by the decision to claim it’s all Serbian lies, how that could occur since it was the Prime Minister that made that statement is hard to fathom. I think it’s more like very sour grapes on your part. As the US weakens its grip, the countries start to slip between its fingers. That’s all it is.
Yes, we have academics and very well-educated personalities unlike Albanians who only have Thaci Haradjin.

I think you are right. Serbia is not a friend of the USA, Great Britain, Italy, and France and suffers terribly for that fact. Why these western countries continue hurting Serbia by falling over themselves to invest there. Their corporations are opening industry all over Serbia and employing hundreds of Serbs and living standards are starting to rise fast.
Now since you guys are friends with them, how many companies have opened shop in Kosova again? I may be wrong but the only thing I saw them give Albanians is the raspberry.

The International Court delivered an advisory opinion, not ruling, on Kosovo's declaration of independence. An advisory opinion is an opinion issued by a court that merely advises on the legality or interpretation of law.
The International Court said that the physical act of making a declaration of independence did not violate international law since there are no provisions under international law that prohibits the physical act of declaring independence. The issue of Kosovo separating from Serbia is another legal matter. Therefore, the Court did not validate Kosovo’s independence with its advisory opinion.
For Kosovo to be independent in accord with international law it needs to seek a ruling from the International Court to the effect that Kosovo is an independent state. If that is achieved, then Serbs cannot claim any illegalities. It would be all over for the Serbian case.
Law has many fine points so it’s not as simple as just repeating like a parrot that Kosovo's declaration of independence was not illegal and thus implying Kosovo’s independence has been validated in the eyes of international law. It has not.
(sj, 20 November 2017 09:43)
If he stated that then he is not up to date with his country's Diplomatic process.
However, I am more in favor of thinking that these moves are coming from serbian side as they are known to fabricate such statements and yes it is in their genes, after all Dobrica Æosiæ, a writer, a member of the Serbian Democratic Union for Integration, the former president of the state, "the father of the Serbian nation," wrote the following:
"We lie to deceive ourselves, to comfort others; We are lying with compassion, lying out of shame, encouraging, hiding our misery, lying for honesty. We are lying for freedom. Lying is a kind of Serbian patriotism and confirmation of our innate intelligence. We are lying creatively, imaginatively, inventively. "
- "Lying is a Serbian state interest."
- "Lie is in the very essence of a Serb".
- "In this country, every lie eventually becomes true."
- "Serbs have been saved by their own lies so many times in history ..."
Regardless what they say know it is a lie. Now, what would you expect from an ordinary serb whos statement is based on the lies of their academics and other highly "educated" personalities.

Most of the recognition / non-recognition circus was made by a single guy (BP) who is very close to both Western powers and VVP. He is a (very smart) mafiosi and his wife is from Leningrad.
I admire him for his unmatched social skills. And obviously he made a lot of recognition fanboyz.
But please keep in mind. He was involved in quite a few large corruption problems during the Yeltsin era. He obviously has a deal with VVP.
Any attempt to dig deeper will meet a strong resistance from no one else, but VVP in person.
I know some involved people in person. They chose the smartest solution: staying away from BP and VVP. Since both are mafiosi... a smart decision to live longer.
The rest of the story is for the fanboyz. Enjoy the recognition/non-recognition game.

I DON'T THINK THAT IT REALLY MATTERS.
IMPORTANT IS THAT THE RECOGNITION HAS STOPPED.
THAT THE WEST HAS NO WILL OR MONEY TO PROCEED.
THAT BALKAN PEOPLES WILL HAVE FIND THEIR OWN WAYS OUT.
THAT THE WEST IS MASTER IN CREATING PROBLEMS
AND IS ALWAYS RELUCTANT IN SOLVING THEM.
AT LEAST I DON'T KNOW SUCH PROJECTS.
