European Commission urged Russia and USA not to interfere in Kosovo process

PanARMENIAN.Net - The European Commission called on sooner end to the process of determining the status of Kosovo. European commissioner for Enlargement Olly Rehn made this statement during the plenary session of the European Parliament on behalf of the organization on Wednesday. "Dragging out the process of determining the status of Kosovo leads us to nowhere. It only increases the risk of instability in Kosovo, continues Serbia's agony and slows down region's movement towards the European Union," he underscored. "Kosovo is a deeply European issue and Serbia must become an EU part. Neither Russia nor the USA is so directly touched with events in the Balkans like Europeans. Only Europe will have to pay for failure of the process," O. Rehn said.



"We cannot allow followers of hard line policy to prevail, the Balkans and Europe would have to sup consequences of it," the commissioner stressed. He called on Serbia to "play a constructive role", as well as other participants of the process to avoid from unilateral actions, let it be declarations on Kosovo's independence or threats to use veto power in UN security Council, Vesti reports.
