"Serbia will not have to recognize Kosovo"

On the contrary Rocky. Ukraine is happening precisely because of Kosovo. And Europe know that. They cannot support sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine while at the same time ignoring it for Serbia. I guess they will have to choose who is more important them, Kosovo or Ukraine. I think we all know the answer to this. Putin will make them roll back Kosovo secession.

...They cannot support sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine while at the same time ignoring it for Serbia...

I never heard that ukrainian army is ethnically cleansing russians in Krimea.
Trying to equalising Krimea and Kosovo cases is childish attempt from serbs and their allies to justify the occupation of Krimea and Ukraine from Russia.

I think he is stating it wrong. You have 5 countries that won't veto Serbia for either recognizing or not recognizing. But you have anyone one of 22 that might veto if Serbia does not recognize. As he is trying to state it is all or none on the word of membership.

The EU & key policy makers will surly find a way to get the remaining 5 EU members to recognize Kosova's territorial integrity & sovereignty, as they would never want another Ukrainian scenario in the middle of Europe!

I thought they don't want another Cyprus. Now it's they don't want another Ukraine? Ukraine's not even in the EU, and aren't you jumping the gun in assuming

a) Ukraine's going to get into the EU, and
b) Crimea is a breakaway entity

And enough with the war and YouTube scenarios. That's not going to happen. It's Kosovo's burden and responsibility to prove its sovereignty, so stop lying on your bum expecting Serbia, which according to you is another country, to do its work. Serbia has its own problems. Kosovo has its. Guess which one's the Northern Cyprus. And bribing international officials, threatening Serb civilians, or crying to Joe Biden isn't going to solve them.

After what happened in Ukraine, I would say you are very wrong! The EU & key policy makers will surly find a way to get the remaining 5 EU members to recognize Kosova's territorial integrity & sovereignty, as they would never want another Ukrainian scenario in the middle of Europe! Although, if Serbia ever did try and invade Kosova in a bid to reoccupy it, Kosova's ally's would declare war on Serbia in a heartbeat! A full blown war smack in the middle of Europe? I really doubt anyone would want that scenario emerging! Russian aggression against Ukraine, will provide the EU, US & NATO with great insight, in adopting new strategies for future policy making, so that the Ukrainian scenario never has a chance of repeating itself where western interest could be jeopardized!!! And at the almost end of Serbian potential EU membership, Serbia will defiantly be required to formally recognize & sovereign & independent Kosova! After what the EU, & western world witnessed in Ukraine, anything less would be irresponsible!

Every few days comes a "new" a article in Serbia's media, explaining why they will never have to recognize Kosova's independence, and how it is really the SERBS, not all the others, that are the real victims of genocide.

Thank god we've seen so much progress since the days of Milosevic...

BTW, what happened to the billions of dollars that he and his pals pocketed, laundered, for ex. thru the banks of dear old Cyprus? Just asking (cause their media never will...)

Truth be told we couldn't care less if Serbia recognizes Kosovo or not. Serbia isn't in Kosovo any more. The rest is history as they say. By the way what do Serbs think of Ukraine's territorial integrity. From comments I read on Serbian websites I see that they support Russia. Stop helping our cause Serbs.

This guy is either naive or stupid. The foreign minister of Greek a town-country thinks he can dictate the foreign minister of Germany, France, UK....The EU policy is not done in Cyprus....

Broken record statement. Serbia must and will have to recognize.

I am reading the exact opposite of this on other sites. THe fact is that opponents of Kosovo independence are irrelevent to Serbia getting in the eu. There's a reason why Serbia has border guards ,customs agents, ambassador dejan pavicevic, bilateral and group meetings with Kosovo, why Serbia has demanded Serbs in Kosovo vote on rokcec ballots, why Serbia has abolished its judiciary in Kosovo. Serbia Knows it needs to recognize Kosovo independence and has done so. Kosovo vs Haiti in mitrovica football match on the 5th!!!!

ESPECIALLY LITTLE OLD CYPRUS.

Funny how "little old Cyprus" is preventing poor broke Kosova from getting anywhere.

On the contrary Rocky. Ukraine is happening precisely because of Kosovo. And Europe know that.

Well, well if it ain't another wannabe-Serbian-Einstein? If your theory proves correct, then I guess lucky for the both of us! It is the scenario you really want, right? Well maybe it is something that we both are looking forward to!!! We might get our wish, for the chance to lock horns together yet again!

They're necessary because derpderps like you need constant reminding :)

Recognise what?? Some insolvent backwater in the Balkans.Come on Rocky get real no one gives a fig about you and your fellow misfits.Bondsteel is the only reason for your being and you know it!!

Serbia's EU bakers are all countries in crisis i.e Cyprus, Greece, Spain, Romania and I am not sure about Slovakia. Point is poor, useless, powerless nations in the EU which don't have much say - ESPECIALLY LITTLE OLD CYPRUS.

Greeks should see Slavs are one and stop this nonsense ''cultural relations''. As for Cyprus, the poor Island has its own problems and the FM shouldn't be discussing things he is ignorant of. Most Greeks are ignorant of Yugoslavia, the wars etc so they should keep their 10cent worth of opinion to themselves.

Serbia will need to recognise.

Good luck from Switzerland.

@LOL

Greeks are NOT ignorant against Yugoslavian wars and your statement shows how ignorant you are. Some facts for you:

1. During NATO bombings AEK Athens gave a friendly with Partizan is Belgrade and both teams held a sign \"STOP BOMBINGS\" (Google is your friend if you dont believe that)

2. Greek KFOR unit remains until today at Kosovo helping Serbian people, the same thing the did during and after bombings (I am not making this out of my head, I have connections with Serbs from Kosovo)

3. If Greece\'s opinion is worthy 10 cents, then Switzerland\'s opinion shouldn\'t even be considered worthy. When did Switzerland helped anybody? The country\'s bank system is based on washed money from politicians around Europe and that\'s the only reason that country is relevant today (maybe and for the snowy mountains to go skying).

Next time before you post at least try to think something less cheesy.

Want to try saying the civilized world faces Belgrade for daily prayers?
Ukraine has absolutely nothing to do with Serbia and Kosovo. Now the Georgian provinces were all about Kosovo. Russia made claims that Kosovo was opening a Pandora box and there would be a domino effect of regions claiming independence, when it did not materialize they marched into Georgia, to say see we told you so. But Russia only embarrassed themselves in the fact that no one other than a couple of A wipes jumped on the bandwagon while 6 years later more than 100 countries recognize Kosovo and only 2-3 recognize the Georgian provinces. Kosovo will not even be mentioned as a bargaining chip by either side.
