This article needs to be updated
All the "future membership applications" are in the 2010s.
I don't understand how to flag that.

Did Kosovo apply for OIC observer status?
The article used to say that Kosovo has applied for OIC observer status, but the sources are rather weak:
- One of them was this tweet in which then Minister of Foreign Affairs Behgjet Pacolli said: "We will seek the observer status @OIC."
- The other was this [1] press release by Kosovo's MFA. (In Albanian, no official English translation available.)
- Relevant quote: "Tre janë objektivat e pjesëmarrjes e shefit të diplomacisë kosovare dhe delegacionit, që ai kryeson e që e nisi aktivitetin e vet në margjina të konferencës me takime të shumta dypalëshe: lobimi për njohjen e mëtejshme të Kosovës, anëtarësimi në Interpol dhe aplikimi për statusin e vendit vëzhgues në OBI e që synojnë të avansojnë integrimin ndërkombëtar të Kosovës." ("OBI" is the acronym of the Albanian name of the OIC, "Organizatës së Bashkëpunimit Islamik".)
- Google translation: "There are three objectives of the participation of the Kosovo Foreign Minister and the delegation, which he heads and which started its activity on the sidelines of the conference with numerous bilateral meetings: lobbying for further recognition of Kosovo, membership in Interpol and application for the status of the country observers at OBI aimed at advancing Kosovo's international integration."
- Bing translation: "Three are the participation goals of the Kosovo chief of diplomacy and delegation, who he heads and who began his activity on the sidelines of the conference with numerous bilateral meetings: lobbying for further recognition of Kosovo, membership in Interpol and applying for the observer country's status in the OBI and aiming to advance Kosovo's international integration."
- Both translations are a bit unclear: Did Kosovo's delegation actually apply for observer status, or did it just do lobbying?
- This October 2018 report [2] by the Prishtina Institute for Political Studies says "...in May 2018 Kosovo has applied as an observer state to OIC...", but its only source for that claim is the somewhat vague MFA press release [3] mentioned above.
- The February 2020 report [4] by the Prishtina Institute for Political Studies doesn't mention the OIC at all.
- I can't find a press release (or any other evidence) that Kosovo has applied for observer status on the OIC's website, e.g. see Google search site:www.oic-oci.org kosovo observer.
My conclusion at the moment: The sources are unclear, but it looks like Kosovo didn't actually formally apply for observer status. Until we find better sources, we shouldn't include the claim in the article.
