"Madam President, in various questions that I have asked the Commission on territories seeking their right to self-determination, I have heard how the EU respects the principles of internationally-recognised borders and that they do not have the competency to recognise states. Does this not perfectly highlight the hypocrisy of the European Union: how willing it is to bend and even break its own rules when the ends justify the means?
Kosovo is not a United Nations-recognised state. However, the EU has extensive relations with the territory and even recognises it as a potential candidate country, despite no permanent and viable political solution between Serbia and Kosovo currently being on the table. If anything, the current heavy-handed diplomacy by the High Representative in the establishment of Serbian municipalities within Kosovo only works to further destabilise the region. Is there anything the European Union would not do to pursue its neo-colonialist agenda?"@en1
