#2 My thoughts exactly Ship.

Is Kosovo still considered part of Serbia? That I could understand.

"On 23 June 2010 at a summit of Balkan countries in Istanbul, Serbia was one of the countries that strongly condemned Israel's attack on the (Gaza) aid flotilla as well as the loss of life. In October 2011, Serbia voted to recognize Palestine as UNESCO's 195th member, against Israel's wishes. Belgrade declared that it would not have opposed a resolution recognizing Palestinian sovereignty, had one come before the UN General Assembly.[13] On the 29th of November, 2012 Serbia followed through with such promises, voting to welcome Palestine as the newest member of the United Nations by voting in favor of United Nations General Assembly resolution 67/19."

This is not a surprising development.

Indeed. But the govt gets to mess with Israel which is worth international bonus points.
