Russia's First Deputy Prime Minister Sergey Ivanov said Sunday that if the European Union recognized independent Kosovo, it had to do the same with Northern Cyprus.
Ivanov attended the 44th Conference on Security Policy in Munich, Germany. He stated that the recognition of independent Kosovo would create a dangerous precedent breaking international law.
He compared the situation that would develop after that to the opening of Pandora's Box since a EU recognition of Kosovo would necessitate an updating of the Union's position on a number of breakaway territories such as the Northern Cyprus Turkish Republic which exists since 1974 but has been recognized only by Turkey.
