[4] On 2 October 2008, according to Kosovan Foreign Minister, Skënder Hyseni, the Libyan ambassador at the UN, Giadalla Ettalhi, pledged to back Kosovo's independence while opposing Serbia's initiative to contest this.

According to Serbian Foreign Minister Vuk Jeremić, Gaddafi reassured him, during a 9 April 2009 meeting, that Libya will not recognise Kosovo.

[6]In the written statement supplied to the ICJ in April 2009, Libya stated that "the proclamation of the independence of the Province of Kosovo unilaterally by its institutions of self-government is a violation of international law" and that "the commitment to the principle of the territorial integrity of the Republic of Serbia is in keeping with international law, which gives absolute sovereignty to States over their regions".

Gaddafi also reportedly told Pacolli that there would be no barrier to free movement of Kosovars in Libya, or the development of economic, and other, relations.
