/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The council of Europe is not guided by the United
States as regards the Kosovo problem, CoE Secretary General Terry
Davis said.

"The U.S. wields no influence on decisions of the Council of Europe. If
Kosovo proclaims independence, 47 members of the Council of Europe
which is represented by 27 EU member states will make decision on
the issue. I can’t say what decision it will be, since the opinions
of the member states differ," he said.

At that Mr Davis said that it’s hard to tell how the proclamation
of Kosovo’s independence will affect resolution of other conflicts,
including the Nagorno Karabakh one. "I have numerously stated that
the CoE will support the UN decision, which is unlikely in the near
future. However, the Council of Europe will arrive at an agreement and
continue monitoring of human rights, education, local self-government
and cultural heritage in Kosovo," he said, Trend reports.
