lpv:translated text	". Commissioner, there is a strong link between the outbreak of fighting in the Caucasus and the issue of Kosovo. I am one of those who opposed the carve-up of Serbia. From the outset we highlighted the fact that the unilateral decision by the Kosovo Albanians, supported by the United States and by many European countries, would amount to opening Pandora’s box and would re-ignite similar disputes the world over. The Georgian situation is one such case. President Saakashvili of Georgia took the decision to attack civilians in Ossetia. It should be recalled that Abkhazia and Ossetia are nations that have occupied their respective homelands for centuries. They have developed their own culture and identity and have on several occasions fought for their independence, which Stalin deprived them of before the Second World War. Serbia and Georgia constitute an excellent example of how some are more equal than others in the international arena, and of how international law is always interpreted by the strongest allies. Furthermore, the European order has been destroyed, with the support of many Members of this House. Let us restore peace and the rule of international law to Europe! Let us restore the European order! I call on the countries that supported the carve-up of Serbia to withdraw their recognition of Kosovo, and on Russia to withdraw its recognition of Ossetia and Abkhazia. If the partition of Serbia recognised by the United States and by most Member States of the Union is deemed to be a good thing, how can a similar operation in Georgia be condemned? Ladies and gentlemen, I can but appeal to you to be less hypocritical."@en1
