Moscow: EU should not deal with Kosovo status
22.12.2007 14:04 GMT+04:00
/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Any change in civil presence, simultaneous
establishment and replacement by any other international mission
should be approved by the UN Security Council, said Mikhail Kamynin, a
Spokesman for the Russia Foreign Ministry, when commenting on the EU's
decision to sent a mission to Kosovo to contribute to Kosovo's
transition to `independence under international supervision.'
`If the matter concerns fundamental revision of aims and tasks of the
mission, attempts to transform it into a tool for construction of an
independent Kosovo, as planned by the EU, it will appear as a rough
violation of the UN regulations. We take account of EU's aspiration to
play a more significant role in Kosovo resolution but determination of
the province's status goes beyond the EU's competence. We are hopeful
that our partners will abide by their commitments to the UN and will
refrain from steps pregnant with a dangerous precedent for the entire
system of international relations,' Kamynin said, the RA MFA press
office said.
