German FM Guido Westerwelle has warned that "attacks on KFOR ahead of a decision on Serbia’s EU candidate status are jeopardizing its European prospects”. “I am saying freely and without hesitation: if Serbia does not accept Kosovo territorial integrity, then it is a criterion in the German decision making,” he stressed. Serbia told to accept "Kosovo’s territorial integrity” “The events in northern Kosovo will certainly be a part of the debate and they are definitely not making European perspective of Serbia, which I see, want and support (in the EU), any simpler,” Westerwelle pointed out. He said that the attacks on KFOR had created “a very serious situation”. German Defense Minister Thomas de Maiziere warned earlier that violence in northern Kosovo could halt Serbia’s EU accession. “The Serbian government wants to get an EU candidate status. Each day that passes like this is driving it further away,” de Maiziere said in Brussels on Wednesday. According to German media, the defense minister stressed that Belgrade had a strong influence on the Serb population in Kosovo and that the influence should be used more often in order to enable a peaceful development of the local situation.
