MacShane Says Kosovo Should be Independent

Speaking at the Council of Europe in Strasbourg, Denis MacShane MP, former Europe minister, has said that it will not be possible for Kosovo to be ruled by Serbia and that the international community should now accept that Kosovo will be an independent state within Europe. "There is no more chance of Kosovo returning to rule from Belgrade than there is of Latvia or Estonia returning to rule under Moscow. The time has come to let Kosovo be Kosovo. I believe Serbia has a great future as a European nation and one of the leading nations in all the Balkans. But the Serbs have to look to a 21st century future and that will not include being masters in Kosovo."
