Recognition of the unilaterally declared independence of Kosovo will not be a condition for Serbia's EU accession, German Ambassador Wolfram Maas has stated. “Germany has never set a condition that Serbia must recognize Kosovo so as to become an EU member state. All conditions that Serbia will need to fulfill as a EU candidate are included in the pre-accession negotiations and EU founding treaties, and were defined in the 1990s,” Maas told Belgrade-based daily Press. Kosovo recognition “not condition for EU” He stated that close cooperation with all neighboring countries was a condition for EU accession. “This means that we expect the resolving of the issue between Belgrade and Pristina, which can be done in many ways. We will be satisfied with any solution reached by the two sides in the talks. We always point to Germany's experience, which never recognized Eastern Germany as a foreign state. We did recognize Kosovo as an independent state, but I repeat, Germany has never set Kosovo as a condition,” the German ambassador to Serbia underscored. Wolfram Maas (FoNet, file)
