“More great news for Kosovo. Singapore is the newest country to recognize the independence of our country. I have met and lobbied continuously, starting with a visit I took to the country in 2013, and I met and spoke a lot with the [Singapore] Foreign Minister Vivian Balakrishnan in New York,” said Hoxhaj.
