Situation in Kosovo is unique and cannot be a precedent – Ukrainian foreign minister
Ukraine will support sovereignty of Kosovo in case the UN passes an appropriate resolution on it, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Arseny Yatsenyuk announced at a news conference on November 14, a REGNUM correspondent informs.
“If the UN passes a resolution on it, we shall support Kosovo as a sovereign state. We must provide full-fledged functioning to the government and social guarantees. It is Ukraine’s official position,” Yatsenyuk particularly said. The Ukrainian foreign minister also noted that the situation in Kosovo is unique and, henceforth, it cannot be applied to other troubled regions like Transdnestr, Ossetia, Nagorno Karabakh. Besides, Arseny Yatsenyuk stressed that there would be no conflicts in today’s Ukrainian territory similar to those in Transdnestr, Abkhazia and South Ossetia.
The statement was made at the First international forum in Kiev titled “Settlement of frozen conflicts in the context of security and stability in Black Sea area.”
