DHAKA—While rejecting the US request, Bangladesh has decided not to recognise Kosovo as an independent Balkan state. Bangladesh does not perceive it necessary now to recognize Kosovo as an independent Balkan state as Foreign Secretary Mijarul Quayes indicated that Dhaka weighs its geopolitical and other consequences, New Age newspaper said quoting Foreign Secretary Mirajul Quayes. Dhaka made it clear that it would like to keep away (from the Kosovo issue), said Bangladesh Foreign Secretary. The Foreign Secretary cleared Bangladesh’s position within 72 hours of US ambassador James Moriarty’s request to the government of Bangladesh to recognise the Balkan state soon.
