"I voted differently to the Group of the European People’s Party (Christian Democrats) on the Kosovo resolution. Unfortunately, I did not have any option other than to vote against this text.
There are a number of basic issues in this resolution which I agree with and I think that we can all support. Kosovo’s inhabitants must enjoy a viable democracy, with a fair, impartial judicial system, and a society free of corruption where human rights and the rights of minorities in particular are respected. In a nutshell, I would like to see lasting stability and economic development for the province of Kosovo as part of the Western Balkans’ European prospects.
However, I am from a country which has not recognised Kosovo’s independence. From this perspective, I find the numerous references in this text to the features of a state, such as country, government, citizens, borders and so on, unacceptable.
I regret that the position of states which do not recognise Kosovo’s independence was not given greater consideration."@en1
