Former German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder says that EU member-states have been too quick in recognizing Kosovo's unilateral independence. Schroeder said that he hoped that the EU would realize its responsibility for leaving Serbia’s pro-European forces out on a limb. Kosovo recognition "hasty" says Schroeder “That’s why I hope that they will realize by April 28, particularly Holland, how important it is to sign the Stabilization and Association Agreement (SAA), and take a concrete step towards scrapping visas for Serbian citizens,” he told daily Blic. The former chancellor, who is in Belgrade for the 175th anniversary of the establishment of the Swiss media group Ringier that owns Blic, said that as far as Kosovo was concerned, he would personally have preferred a different decision to have been taken, though there was not much sense in looking backwards. He told European leaders that it would not be good for the stability of the whole region if the SAA was not signed with Serbia. “I am really in favor of bolstering the pro-European forces in Serbia for Serbia to become a part of Europe,” said Schroeder Gerhard Schroeder (FoNet, archive)
