ZAGREB Former UN Envoy for Kosovo Martti Ahtisaari has said that Serbia should not be allowed to join the EU until it recognizes Kosovo. Commenting on Serbian President Tomislav Nikolic’s statement that he will not recognize Kosovo even if the price was Serbia outside the EU, Ahtisaari said: “No EU membership without recognition of Kosovo” “If they want to join Russia, let them go there. Concessions are unacceptable, in Bosnia-Herzegovina or anywhere else”. “Serbia should not be allowed to join the EU until it recognizes Kosovo. Serbia lost its rights in Kosovo a long time ago. It treated Kosovo citizens badly for years,” the Nobel peace prize winner told Zagreb-based daily Vecernji list. According to him, five EU member states that have not recognized Kosovo’s independence helped Serbia’s cause. “But I am convinced that it will change soon,” Ahtisaari was quoted as saying. He expressed hope that “the 100th country will soon recognize Kosovo,” stressing that 91 countries had recognized its independence. Martti Ahtisaari (FoNet, file) Beta
