Saying 'No' to Kosovo independence
Four EU countries, Romania, Cyprus, Slovakia and Spain, have refused to recognise Kosovo as an independent state.
Here, Euro MPs from all four countries explain their concerns about Kosovo's step forward.
Click on the links below to read what they have to say.
"Kosovo opens a Pandora's box"
Irena Belohorska, Slovak MEP
"Some member states have forgotten the basic principles of international law"
Kyriacos Triantaphyllides, Cypriot MEP
"The seeds of future trouble have been sown"
Manuel Medina Ortega, Spanish MEP
"A precedent likely to affect countries with frozen conflicts"
Jean-Marian Marinescu, Romanian MEP
Slovakia has said it may never recognise Kosovo, mindful of its own heavy loss of territory to Hungary and Germany in 1938-39.
Irena Belohorska is an independent MEP.

Spain does not want to encourage the Basques and Cyprus went through a nightmare when commandeered by muslims.
Personally I agree- it just encourages more islamic minorities to fight for seccession in their host countries. Clinton not only bombed his former Serbian allies but disabled the bulwark against Islamic expansionism in Europe. |
