The world’s largest social network Facebook has listed Kosovo as a country more than five years after the breakaway territory proclaimed independence from Serbia, officials said Tuesday.
“Facebook recognises Kosovo as a state,” Minister for EU Integration Vlora Citaku wrote on Twitter.
And Prime Minister Hashim Thaci said in a statement that he “was informed (on Monday) by senior Facebook executives… about including Kosovo in the global social network”.
Until now Kosovans who wanted to create a Facebook account had to register as citizens of Serbia, as it was the only offered option when they put a Kosovo town down as their residence.
“Although this is not a recognition by a state, it has a tremendous value, because there are over one billion people in the world who use Facebook,” Kosovo’s influential Koha.net news portal said.
