Jose Manuel Barroso said that the UN Security Council was "incapable of solving the Kosovo status crisis". “Who was not capable of solving the Kosovo future status question – the EU or the Security Council? The solution was blocked in the UN Security Council,” the European Commission president told Vienna daily Presse. EC head says "UN SC unable to solve Kosovo status” “The European Union showed that it is ready and capable of leading a process of stabilization in the western Balkans and make the status solution process easier,” Barroso said. He also said that the recognition of Kosovo is up to each country individually. “The EU has no authority regarding that question. In response, some countries recognized Kosovo, and others have not,” Barroso said.

"The situation is not that bad," Kouchner said in a statement to Radio France Enter responding to a question about Kosovo's unilateral independence, recognized by France. For Kouchner, the fact that Slovenia is the first country to break away from the Yugoslav federation and which is now presiding the European Union, and thus enables and organizes independence of Kosovo, is a "rather nice parable". "I am thinking of my Serb friends who are torn now, but we could not maintain the situation like the one that has been existing in Cyprus for the past 30 years either with UN or NATO troops or anything else you want," underscored Kouchner. Kouchner believes that a solution is to have "Serbia and Kosovo part of the EU". "That is obvious for Serbia, we have suggested that a long time ago, and as far as Kosovo is concerned, we must see about that, the time is still not right," said Kouchner.
