To keep international law as basis for any solution for the future status of Kosovo

Moreover there are some concerns on the intention expressed by many EU’s Member States to proceed with its recognition – obviously following the intention of the Bush-administration and trying to create another precedence of breaking the rules of the international law and the regime of United Nations – achieved and developed after WW II. This step will lead to introduce new critical elements, for other subjects’ aspirations to pursue their own geo-political goals.

The Party of the European Left opposes to this hypothesis. We call again on the European Parliament and on every national Parliament to follow the UN resolution 1244, that ended the conflict against Serbia. We call on all peace-loving and fighting for peace and democracy forces in Europe – despite their positions about the policies carried out by the governments of Serbia and Kosovo and everywhere else to strive consequently for defending and strictly implementing international law to find a common respected political solution towards the perspective of the Serbian state and the future status of Kosovo.

These rules are not allowing unilateral declarations or recognitions of independence.

The European Left calls on European political forces of the EU as well as other European countries to exercise an autonomous and transparent role proposing a policy for the area based on the international Law. This must include the recognition of those countries decision to become Member of the European Union if such political decision -  democratically to be achieved and voted by the population in all countries of the Balkans - is adopted.
