YEREVAN (YERKIR) – 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.
