Serbia Threatens to Leave Council of Europe if Kosovo Joins
Serbia's President Aleksandar Vucic has warned that Serbia could withdraw from the Council of Europe if Kosovo is admitted to the organization, as reported by media outlets in Belgrade
Spain is not going to recognize Kosovo in the foreseeable future, Spanish Ambassador to Bulgaria, Jorge Fuentes, told Novinite.com (Sofia News Agency) in an interview.
Ambassador Fuentes has made it clear that the Spanish position was not motivated by fears that an independent Kosovo could serve as example for separatism in Spain but was a matter of legal principle because the act of declaration of Kosovo’s independence was “legally incorrect.”
His Excellency said that Spain was not likely to recognize Kosovo unless more than 100 sovereign states do so.
Fuentes has forecast that the ruling of the Hague Court on the legality of Kosovo’s independence would not be very clear because of the enormous political stakes of a clear-cut “yes” or “no” decision. He also expressed his conviction that Kosovo did in fact set a political precedent after all, and that without it, separatism in Georgia’s regions Abkhazia and South Ossetia would have been unlikely.
Kosovo has been recognized by 65 sovereign states, including 22 EU members. Spain, Greece, Romania, Slovakia, and Cyprus do not recognize it.
