"Madam President, I have a huge problem with voting on enlargement of the European Union to include Kosovo because I think Kosovo should join the European Union as part of Serbia. This is because I do not acknowledge and cannot in good conscience countenance any argument which supports the terrible violation of the Serbian nation by a forced secession of this Serbian province from the country which gave it birth – a secession which, unfortunately, has received international support from some or even a majority of the European Union’s Member States. I would like to say that Kosovo today is not just a centre of organised crime, but is also a place in which persecution is being used against the ethnic Serbs who live there, and in which religious persecution is being used against Orthodox Christians, for whom the province has special and considerable significance. I would therefore like to say I am completely convinced that Kosovo is part of Serbia, and that it is as part of Serbia that Kosovo should become part of the European Union."@en1
