We accept Kosovo as an independent republic as Turkish people and believe all countries will recognize so, soon.
Pal Ndrecaj on Oct 27, 2024:
Please, do not call Kosovo a disputed territory!
Kosovo has been independent since 2007 and internationally recognized by most countries of the world.
Thank You!

Would like to see KOSOVO as a republic and not disputed country. This is unfair and incorrect. Kosovo is a republic.
