"Mr President, international recognition of the independence of the Serbian province of Kosovo – such as that proposed by Mrs Lunacek – lies in direct contravention of United Nations Security Council Resolution 1244, which is supported both by the EU Member States and by Belgrade.
While I particularly welcome Mrs Lunacek’s commitment to the protection of Kosovo’s Serbian Orthodox religious heritage and the rights of the minority Serb, Roma, Gorani, Turk and Bosnian communities, which continue to be abused by the Albanian Kosovan majority, Resolution 1244 clearly and unambiguously states that any discussion about the future of that province must take the sovereignty and the territorial integrity of Serbia into account, encouraging the granting of societal autonomy and meaningful self-determination to Kosovo.
KLS splinter groups continue to operate along the Kosovan border, pursuing further irredentist claims on the south-Serbian Preševo Valley and destabilising governance in the western part of Macedonia, which is a European Union candidate country I know very well.
The international community must take steps to grant those living in the majority-Serb Peć and Mitrovica regions the opportunity to decide where, and with whom, they wish to live. Now is not the time to recognise Kosovan independence. I urge the House to reject this resolution."@en1
