"The European Union has pursued a clear policy with regard to the Western Balkans and applied it consistently, with Croatia’s recent accession proving that it is correct and productive. Regardless of the fact that some Member States have not recognised Kosovo, its development as a state must comply with a number of principles and values. I am afraid that these principles are not always observed, and there is a significant delay in carrying out democratic reforms. However, there are encouraging signs for the dialogue with Serbia which the EU has done everything in its power to broker and facilitate. The presence of EULEX in Kosovo is a factor that is conducive to resolving numerous current problems between the Kosovar majority and the Serb minority. Progress has also been made on cooperation within the regional mechanisms. I voted for this resolution, not least because it is not an ultimatum on the issue of recognising Kosovo’s independence. It is a step forward also because it recognises the right of every EU Member State to make its own decision on this matter."@en1
