Kosovo Prime Minister Hashim Thaci gestures during an interview with The Associated Press in Kosovo capital Pristina on Monday, Feb. 16, 2009. On the eve of his nation’s first statehood anniversary, Hashim Thaci said he’s certain that many more countries eventually will grant full diplomatic recognition to Europe’s newest nation. Kosovo declared independence from Serbia on Feb. 17, 2008. Although it gained swift recognition from the United States and key European powers including Britain, France, Germany and Italy only 22 of the EU’s 27 member states have endorsed it.
