lpv:translated text	"Mr President, many speakers, starting with the President-in-Office of the Council, Mr Bernard Kouchner, deplore Russia’s recognition of the independence of Abkhazia and South Ossetia. Certainly this decision has led to some serious consequences for the countries of the Caucasus and for Europe and could do so in the future for Russia itself. This is because recognising the independence of Abkhazia and South Ossetia could give ideas in the future to North Ossetia, Chechnya, Ingushetia, Dagestan and others which currently form part of the Russian Federation. Whether in the Caucasus, Tibet, Africa or elsewhere, one of the challenges of our times is to find a balance between the aspirations of certain peoples to autonomy, on the one hand, and the inviolability of borders, on the other hand. Without this inviolability, the peace to which true patriots aspire could be seriously threatened. However, we Europeans are also open to criticism. We have heard talk of respect for international borders, but we set a precedent in Kosovo, whether Mr Kouchner likes it or not. To say that there was an international decision on Kosovo is a joke because the UN never authorised war against Serbia. Russia has withdrawn from Eastern Europe, which not so long ago was ruled by the implacable Communist dictatorship. It has withdrawn from the Baltic states, from Ukraine and from the republics of Central Asia. The more it has withdrawn, the more it has become encircled. The Warsaw Pact has disappeared but we have not offered any response other than the ceaseless expansion of NATO. We are now reaping the rewards of this!"@en1
