"Madam President, the European Union’s most powerful tool of foreign policy is the prospect of EU membership. For it to achieve real change and reform, Kosovo should be offered the prospect of membership in a genuine, credible way. The European Union is committed to the defence of the multi-ethnic and multi-religious countries of the Western Balkans. This has to be based on democratic values, tolerance and multiculturalism.
Regional cooperation and good neighbourly relations are the main condition for countries wanting to join the EU. Good neighbourly relations are also uniquely crucial for stability and security in the powder keg that is the Western Balkans. President Ahtisaari’s plan is an excellent framework for the resolution of the conflict in northern Kosovo. Kosovo’s territorial and political inviolability must be respected and upheld. True democracy and a viable market economy can only ripen in a country that respects the rule of law. The main priority of the Kosovo Government, and of the EULEX operation that supports it, must therefore be to fight corruption and organised crime."@en1
