Swedish MFA: Recognition of Kosovo Independence Not to Become Precedent for Other Conflicts

November 21, 2006 - 16:17 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - "I do not think that the recognition of Kosovo's independence by the international community can be rated as precedent for the other conflicts, Swedish Foreign Minister Carl Bildt stated. In his words, such cases should be approached delicately. "The situation in Balkans demands carefulness. All engaged in the regional issues should keep in mind the great difference in positions and jointly with the other states and UN Security members exert efforts to bring the positions closer," he remarked.



When touching upon the frozen conflicts Mr Bildt said that 'territorial integrity of states is very important but the problems should be resolved via dialogue.' "Burst of violence in Abkhazia, South Ossetia, Nagorno Karabakh and Transdnistria will be in no one's interests. I think it's in Russia's interests to treat the situation in the region with great cautiousness and respect towards international principles," he underscored, reports the BBC Russian branch.
