Spain would be ready to recognize Kosovo if it reaches an agreement with Serbia. This was reported by the Brussels portal EU Observer, referring to anonymous sources from the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The ministry recalls that Spain did not recognize Kosovo because it considered that the 2008 unilateral declaration of independence was “contrary to the rule of law, but believed in the inevitability of an agreement between Kosovo and Serbia.”
The EU Observer also states that the Foreign Ministries of Cyprus, Greece, Romania and Slovakia did not respond to the question of their current position, but that if Spain changes its mind, other EU countries would follow suit, in should an agreement be reached between Serbia and Kosovo.
It should be recalled that Spanish officials have repeatedly stated that they are opposed to the recognition of Kosovo’s self-proclaimed independence, because such a decision could imply a similar scenario with Spanish Catalonia, where the aspiration to secession has been growing for years.
