EU seeks Kosovo solution
The European Commission is preparing a report for October, which will determine the European future of Kosovo, Pristina daily Koha Ditore says Tuesday. In Brussels, due to the opposition
of Kosovo's independence by some EU members, it is speculated that the document
will bring nothing radically new.
- There is a situation, even weirder than in the time of UNMIK. Some EU states, which are against the independence of Kosovo, especially Cyprus and Spain, have become even more aggressive in insisting that Kosovo should not be treated as a state, an unnamed EU diplomat told the newspaper.
He stated that "it is incredible how Cyprus and Spain insist about it in every sentence, each comma and full-stop and do not forget to add in line with the resolution 1244 of the UN Security Council whenever Kosovo is mentioned."
On debates about Kosovo, Cyprus and Spain support the EU policy of long-term stabilisation of the Balkans and regional development, without letting some concrete steps to be made in relation to or with Kosovo, add the daily.
Diplomats said the first test for them would occur in October, when the European Commission is to reveal its feasibility study. |
