Montenegro announced today that it has recognized Kosovo as a sovereign and independence state, intending to build strong diplomatic ties with the newly born nation.
 
The recognition comes just one day after only a third of UN members backed Serbia's initiative to ask the International Court of Justice for a legally non-binding opinion on Kosovo's coordinated declaration of independence.
Macedonia is also expected to recognize Kosovo within a few hours tonight once the emergency parliamentary session in Skopje is over.
Many other countries are expected to recognize Kosovo in the coming days.
