As controversial as President William Ruto's trip to the Vatican was, it is now emerging that he has stirred a "diplomatic storm" in Europe after a brief meeting with Kosovo President Vjosa Osmani, despite previous protests.
The initial uproar began last month after Kenya officially recognised Kosovo as an independent state on March 26.
This move was expected to strain diplomatic relations with Serbia, which is strongly supported by the Kremlin and Beijing at the United Nations. This recognition was marked by a signing ceremony, which was shared on social media by former Kosovo President Behgjet Pacolli.
President Ruto's move made Kenya the first country in five years to officially recognise Kosovo.
