"Mr President, the Commission’s Work Programme for 2008 states that the citizen is and should be the core of the European project.
Extrapolating on this idea, I believe that the European Union is not approaching the Kosovo process in the correct manner. We cannot continue to debate whether this or that international situation is appropriate for recognising Kosovo’s independence. One question must take precedence over all the others: what do the people of Kosovo want? They are the most important of all. The key to resolving the conflicts lies in two elements: respect for human rights and recognition of their right as a people to decide freely on their future.
I believe that the European Union should use these words as a reference for situations that arise both within and outside its borders."@en1
