Bassuener: Kosovo sees long-term interests, preserve European aspirations

Kurt Bassuener, of the Council for Democratic Policy in Berlin, suggests that Kosovo carefully manage relations with the US and strengthen its position in Europe, aiming at recognition by the five countries that have not yet recognised it and presented itself as an asset to a more unified and stable EU.

Kosovo should see its long-term interests, in the function of ensuring its independence and the ability to be democratic state and self-government. And now... I would say that this is more likely across Europe even though it's painful to accept it than through the United States, under current management”, says Bassuener for Radio Free Europe Expose.

He adds that Kosovo should be open to new partners that can strengthen its independence and security, but always maintaining compliance with European aspirations./Periscopi/
