The Facebook page called "Në Kohë" has reposted a news story with a false claim that Greece has recognized the independence of the state of Kosovo.
Hibrid.info has checked the facts in this article, which was published in August of this year by the dubious portal "todaynews74.com".
The content of this article includes a statement by Greek Foreign Minister Nikos Dendias dated July 5 of this year.
But this statement by Dendias referred to the judgment of the International Court of Justice in The Hague on the declaration of Kosovo's independence.
“As for the legality of the possible recognition, the International Court of Justice in The Hague ruled in 2010 that Kosovo’s declaration of independence did not constitute a violation of international law because it was not the product of unlawful use of force condemned by the Security Council. (called a pseudo-Turkish state in Cyprus) 1983. With the collapse of the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia, many new states were established, none of which was the result of external attacks.” , Dendias had said.
So, it is not true that Greece has recognized the independence of the state of Kosovo, as claimed in the title of the article published by the dubious portal "todaynews74.com".
