Traian Basescu: Moscow's Support in Settlement of Frozen Conflicts Not Felt

PanARMENIAN.Net - Romanian President Traian Basescu bewares of the use of Kosovo experience in the Post Soviet space. He said that Russia gives little support to the resolution of frozen conflicts. He said that despite Transdniestria is a part of Moldova, Russia's warm attitude towards the Igor Smirnov regime is felt. "Although world powers have been involved in the settlement of the CIS frozen conflicts over the last 10 years, none of them was settled," Traian Basescu said. Romanian President thinks that in order to achieve positive results the conflicts should not be discriminated; a unique method of approaching should be applied. "Each conflict is approached differently. I think it's wrong. It also concerns the Kosovo region," he said. The President considers that the recognition of Kosovo's independence can be precedent for the resolution of other frozen conflicts. "If the reason for the recognition of Kosovo's independence is that 84% of its population consists of Albans, this precedent can be applied to Transdniestria and other conflict regions," he said. Romanian President said that the extent of autonomy, the preservation of culture and traditions of national minorities but not "the establishment of new states" can be discussed in the process of settlement of frozen conflicts, reports APA.
