Democratic Union of Dardania MP Adem Salihaj accused at a news conference Premier Hashim Thaci of announcing "pompously and rashly" that Kosovo would be recognised by one hundred countries right after the declaration of indepedence.

"So far, five months after the declaration of independence, Kosovo has been recognised by just 43 countries," Salihaj said.

According to the DSD MP, a completely incompetent individual had been appointed as the province's minister for foreign affairs, and that he was to blame for the poor results.
