/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Granting independence to Kosovo cannot become a
precedent for other conflicts in various countries of the world,
including the Nagorno Karabakh conflict, EU’s Foreign and Security
Policy Chief Javier Solana stated. "The Kosovo problem is an issue,
which cannot be compared with situations in any other regions,"
Solana stated.

He expressed regret that no peaceful resolution was reached on Kosovo
problem in the framework of the UN Security Council. "I think the best
way out from this situation is to give one more opportunity for talks.

And in principle, this is what the EU ministers came to during their
meeting on July 23," the Commissioner said.

At the same time he underlined that these negotiations cannot last
forever and must be limited within 120 days.

"I turn to Belgrade and Prishtina urging them to join the final circle
of talks actively and constructively.

The European Union wants to move ahead this process and find lasting
solution to the status of Kosovo. We insist on commonality of opinions
in this issue for protecting European interests, as well as stability
and prosperity of European future in Balkans," Solana underscored,
