"Mr President, for a not insignificant part of the Group of the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats in the European Parliament, the European Union’s constructive yet distinctive stance on Kosovo’s independence has impacted very positively on the progress currently being made: it has strengthened Europe’s commitment to Serbia and has contributed to the stability of the region as a whole.
If the European Union had positioned itself en bloc alongside one of the parties, many of the achievements and the significant advances that have been mentioned here many times would not have been possible, from the bilateral dialogue to the dialogue between the European Union and the two parties.
That is why we believe that the appeal made in the report urging Member States that have not yet recognised Kosovo to do so, is inappropriate. We do not feel any of the points that could be interpreted as implicit recognition of Kosovo to be appropriate either.
We believe that this debate should focus more on the problems affecting Kosovo, such as corruption, organised crime, the economic situation and institution-building, rather than on the debate about whether or not to recognise Kosovo."@en1
