Kosovo asks Apple Maps to display internationally recognised borders

Kosovo Calls On Apple To Correct Its Borders On Maps, 27 July 2020

Kosovo has asked U.S. technology company Apple to correct its borders on its maps.

Kosovar Foreign Minister Meliza Haradinaj said on Twitter on July 26 that she had written a letter to Apple CEO Tim Cook.

In it, she asked Cook "to take immediate steps to correctly present Kosovo's internationally recognized borders in its AppleMap Service."

On those maps, Kosovo is shown as part of Serbia, something the minister said was in "in direct contradiction of the political and legal realities."
