Spain rejects EU’s call for Kosovo recognition
Spanish foreign minister rejects call to recognise independence of Kosovo, says ‘Spain has its opinion’.
MADRID – Spanish Foreign Minister Miguel Angel Moratinos rejected a call by the European Parliament on Thursday for all EU member states to recognise the independence of Kosovo.
“We respect their position, but we do not share it,” he told a news conference in Madrid.
“We respect all the resolutions of the European Parliament but governments have their own opinion and Spain has its opinion,” he said, noting that the “majority” of UN members have not recognised Kosovo’s independence.
“There are 192 nations represented in the United Nations, I think so far not even 50 nations have recognised Kosovo,” Moratinos said.
