"Decision of Kosovo's status will set an international precedent for other breakaway regions, including those in the former Soviet Union," Russia's Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said after the Russia-NATO Council's session in Brussels.

"Those, who wish to play with international law, the UN Regulations and the Helsinki Final Act should think thoroughly before setting foot on a slippery path that can be pregnant with unforeseeable consequences and jeopardize Europe's stability," he said.

The Russian Minister urged not to block talks and let the sides arrive at a position admissible for both sides, RIA Novosti reports.
