The paper recalls that Kosovo is not a member of the United Nations, and therefore of the World Health Organization, which is why it is impossible to exchange coronavirus data with the world, Kosovo Online writes.

Microbiologist Lul Raka tells Radio Free Europe that information on all countries except Kosovo can be found on World Health Organization's links.

"The World Health Organization does not recognize Kosovo. So we can't report (to it). That's the reality. We recently reported to the European Center for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC)," said Raka.
