MORE THAN ONE MONTH AND HALF HAD PASSED WITH NO NEW COUNTRY ADDED TO THE LIST OF THE COUNTRIES THAT HAD RECOGNIZED KOSOVO. The Arab countries stink as well as the other so called Islamic countries that did not recognize Kosovo. Rotten Fish. As of June 13, 2008, 43 out of 192 sovereign United Nations member states have formally recognised the Republic of Kosovo. Notably, a majority of European Union member states have formally recognised Kosovo (20 out of 27); EU member states decide individually whether to recognise Kosovo, whereas the EU has commissioned the European Union Rule of Law Mission in Kosovo (EULEX) to ensure peace and continued external oversight.

These monastaries should adhere to regular government inspection to insure that there are no weapon accumulation.
