How is this even a real debate? It is cowardly and mercenary, immoral in fact, to argue that somehow the 90 countries that haven't recognized Kosovo have the same weight as the 100+ who do, particularly if you are Apple, an American born company that professes humanistic values.
Russia, Serbia's historical Slavic brother, literally bribes banana republics to not recognize Kosovo. Do we really think Mali and Venezuela care about ancient Balkan enmities? No. They support Russia for economic and geopolitical benefits. Four of the 5 European countries that do not recognize Kosovo - Romania, Spain, Cyprus, and Slovakia don't because they cannot politically support the idea of ethnic minorities breaking away to join their ethno-cultural cousins. Spain believes their argument that Catalonia is Spain doesn't hold as much water if they support Kosovo's independence. But Spain hasn't tried to drive Catalans out, rape their women, shovel their young men into trenches. Greece doesn't recognize Kosovo because the Greek Orthodox Church is fraternal with the Serbian Orthodox church, and because of Cyprus.
More importantly, the USA, Canada, Australia, France, the UK, Germany, Japan, in other words, what we think of as "the free world" and all the neighboring countries except Serbia all recognize the historical facts:
1. Serbia, led by Milosovic, committed ethnic cleansing in Kosovo. 10,000 + killed. 10,000+ women raped; 800,000 people driven from their homes and country at the barrel of a gun.
2. A simple google search shows you pictures of the mass graves.
3. 92% of the people who live in Kosovo are ethnically Albanians. Almost all were victims of this cleansing/genocide.
4. Nato bombed the Serbs to stop the murder, rape, and expulsion
5. Serbia lost Kosovo.
6. Kosovo became a country.
Apple needs to sack up, and join the free world in recognizing that Kosovo is an independent country. To continue to show them are part of Serbia is to reject global justice and to endorse crimes against humanity.
