"Ladies and gentlemen, Ahtisaari’s Kosovo report is complete. In Munich, President Putin explicitly stated Russia’s objectives in the world and in Europe. The time for waiting is over; now is the time to act.
The EU’s help in leading the Western Balkans towards stability will be the moment of truth for the European Union’s foreign and security policy. The best way to solve the Kosovo question is to obtain Serbia’s support, and in order to do that we must support the democratic forces in that country.
We must confirm that we support the continued rapprochement between Serbia and the European Union as soon as that may be possible. We must state which criteria will decide whether the continuation of that process is possible. The Serbian Government, which is implementing the fundamental values of the European Union – democracy, human rights and the rule of law – must merit our support on their journey towards joining Europe.
Thus we will be able to foil Russia’s threat to veto the Kosovo plan in the UN and use Kosovo as a pretext to support separatists in countries that are part of the European Union’s neighbourhood policy."@en1
