    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ Romania's President Traian Basescu urged NATO
    allies Thursday to refrain from encouraging Kosovo's plans to declare
    independence from Serbia, saying more time should be given to find
    an agreement.

    He warned that a declaration of independence without an agreement
    with Serbia or full backing from the United Nations would violate
    international law and set a dangerous precedent for separatist groups
    elsewhere.

    "What message are we sending to multiethnic societies, or to others
    that are facing ethnic issues?" Basescu said.

    "We could be violating the UN charter and Helsinki Act which have
    guaranteed 60 years of peace in Europe," he continued.

    Other European Union nations, including Spain, Cyprus and Slovakia,
    also have misgivings about independence for Kosovo, ITAR-TASS reports.
