"Ladies and gentlemen, today is a turning point in the Western Balkans and also in the life of the whole European Union. Today the UN deadline passes for the Serbs and Albanians to reach agreement. We should have known in advance that the endeavours of the troika to achieve this were doomed to failure. In all probability, Kosovo will declare its independence within two months, and it is still difficult to assess the consequences of this beyond the Western Balkan region. Kosovo will be a protectorate of the Union. The Kosovo settlement will be the definitive test of common foreign and security policy. Will we be able to reach a unified position, or will we be the victims of bickering between America and Russia? If the Union is not unified, this will pose a serious danger for the alignment and European integration of the region, so it is very important that there is a good, fair settlement in Kosovo. This is the Union’s responsibility."@en1
