As a national of Saudi Arabia, I would like to congratulate the People of the Republic of Kosovo for their independence.

We in Saudi Arabia have utmost respect to the People of Kosovo, and fully recognise and respect their desire to become independent. Our government’s recognition should be understood as a commitment from our part to the People of Kosovo and to the strengthening of our bilateral ties.

God bless Kosovo and its people, and may they enjoy everlasting sovereignty, prosperity, and peace.

I admit that the recognition of Kosovo by KSA has been crucial and a strong recognition. This recognition bears much more political weight and support than some of the more recent recognitions. However I think people over estimate its strength.
Not all Arab and Muslim states will follow KSA. The Arab countries which I expect to recognise as a consequence of KSA’s recognition are Bahrain, Qatar, Oman, Yemen, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon and the Comoros.
There could also be possible recognitions from Tunisia, Algeria, Djibouti, Eritrea, Mauritania and West Bank, Palestinian Organisation, but I’m not as optimistic about these.
Egypt, Iraq, Syria, Sudan, Somalia and Libya will defiantly not recognise Kosovo any time soon.
If a huge amount of Arab nations recognise Kosovo we will probably be more likely to see Israel recognise.
Other Muslim countries I predict to recognise are Pakistan, Bangladesh, Niger, Nigeria (west African countries), Brunei, Suriname.
But I do not expect to see Muslim recognition from the former USSR, Iran, Indonesia ect.
I do hope that KSA recognition of Kosovo has opened the gates for more recognition of Kosovo, but not all Muslim states will follow.

Allah Hu Akbar- Saudi Arabia’s recognition of Kosova is one of the most important in the past months. Saudi, Kuwait and Bahrain are ruled by the same clan, thus we see those two turning blue soon. Saudi is home of the OIC and the Islamic Development Bank. Saudi can now exert some pressure on Jakarta and Cairo to do the same. OIC members are 57. Lets hope Pakistan follow soon. They have publically said yes and so has bangladesh but many of these countries face successionist movement. You must be patient. Enshallah more will follow. Want to see Kosova in the OIC soon.

Never is late for good support. Serbia, work hard to scere cristian community in Europe, and world wide, with a New Born Kosova, as a other muslim Country in Europe. They hide a fact that Albanian are frendly and open to any religion.
Thank You Saudi Arabia, Thank You Saudi Arabia. I cant account how many times like to Thank You Saudi Arabia.
Thank you brothers
God bless Saudi Arabia!
