Smart Bug you are completely wrong and I fully checked every single one of my facts before posting so you are not right. I recommend you check the posters who agree with me shown below as well as the link that was posted.smccarrick wrote: »

May I direct your attention to this wikipedia article sir International_recognition_of_Kosovo

There are 195 recognised countries- not 250 (194 if you're the US or the UK (who acquiesce to the Chinese and do not officially recognise Taiwan.......))0 -
