Georgia rejects Kosovo as precedent

Russian President Vladimir Putin has warned the West that granting independence to Kosovo would serve as a precedent for other territories with similar cases, including pro-Russian breakaway provinces in the ex-Soviet republics of Georgia and Moldova.

On a visit to European Union headquarters, Saakashvili said separatist groups had thrown out the majority of citizens from South Ossetia and Abkhazia, meaning there was no comparison with the situation in Kosovo, where the Albanian-speaking majority seeks independence from Serbia.

Saakashvili said Georgia would never accept an imposed breakup of the country and expressed confidence that talks with the separatists would solve the problem.

He said any international acceptance of the demands of separatists in Abkhazia and South Ossetia would serve as a dangerous precedent for other regions in Europe, particularly in Spain.
