Re: Kosovo declares independence (none / 1)

The EU recognizing Kosovo independence without meeting minority rights status is what makes this so bad...
I am glad that some Member States have said that they will not recognize this ... and it speaks bad for the idea of human rights as a "European value."

The effect of "recognizing Kosovo independence" means recognizing a human rights violator and rogue nation within Europe...

And even those member states aren't led by a concern for minority rights in Kosovo and stability of the Balkans, but concern about secessionists in their own countries.

Does Kosovo qualify for Council of Europe membership?
