The declaration of independence of Kosovo and the further development of the situation in Europe became one of the main topics in the world. No matter how hard the EU and the USA insist on the fact, that Kosovo is a unique opportunity, since the independence is granted on the bases of ethnical belonging and their arguments do not seem very convincing. The declaration of independence immediately found its response in the post-Soviet area, and first of all in the unrecognized republics of Abkhazia, South Ossetia, Transnistria and Nagorno-Karabakh. The case with Nagorno-Karabakh is indeed
a unique case; it doesn't depend on Russia's position at all, which can't be said about the other above mentioned regions.
