Deputy Russian FM Vladimir Titov said Thursday Moscow is in favor of new negotiations between Belgrade and Pristina. The fresh talks should come in order to find a mutually acceptable solution for the issue of Kosovo, the minister said in Athens. Titov: Russia wants Belgrade-Pristina talks "Russia is against the independence of Kosovo, because that is in violation of international laws and principles, among other things, United Nations Security Council Resolution 1244," Titov said, speaking after a meeting with Greek Foreign Minister Dora Bakoyannis, the Russian news agency Itar-Tass said. The Russian diplomat added that Moscow urges the renewal of negotiations so that a solution approved by both sides can be found. "Russia has been proposing a specific road map for several months now, in order to comply with the aspirations of Kosovo and Serbia to join the European Union, and that a stable and long-term solution can be found, one that would strengthen peace and stability in the Balkans," Titov said. "It is still not late to renew the negotiations between Belgrade and Pristina," he continued, "because the independence of Kosovo has not been recognized by many countries, and there are many more countries that have announced they will never recognize it". "50 countries have announced that they will never recognize Kosovo, while 37 have recognized it. This means, that the issue is very controversial," Titov told reporters in the Greek capital. "The international community has a diverging approach to this, but the majority of countries are in favor of respecting international law," the Russian diplomat concluded.
