Romania Opposes Kosovo Independence

According to Basescu, other reasons not to acknowledge Kosovo independence include the violation of the principle border inviolability as Serbian sovereignty, as well as the fact that there is no UN Security Council resolution regulating the declaration of independence made in Pristina.

In addition, Basescu added that the Albanian side and the Serb side have yet to reach common grounds, through direct negotiations.

"We feel that both parties lose at the moment," said Basescu.

He added that the activity of the Romanian diplomatic office in Pristina would cease.
