Slovakia: Kosovo’s secession is a gross violation of international law
Slovakia considers Kosovo’s secession to be a gross violation of international law and does not intend to recognize it, Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico said.
(KosovoCompromise Staff) Wednesday, August 20, 2008
"In the case of Kosovo's emergence as an independent state, international law has been grossly violated. If, at some point in the future, all the international conditions have been met, we'll discuss it. For the time being, Kosovo is an open and shut case for us," said Fico.
The Slovakian prime minister stressed that Slovakia would not recognize the Kosovo passports either, "as it would be ridiculous not to recognize the state, but recognize the passports."
He explained Slovakia's refusal to go along with the majority of the EU in recognizing Kosovo was based on the fact that Slovakia was a small country whose only weapon on the international stage remained international law.
"Small countries have no other means of survival than international law. We don't have fighter aircraft or atom bombs to do as we please around the world, as some countries do. The only artillery we can use in discussions are the paragraphs of international law. We're convinced that in the case of Kosovo it has been trampled on, and that's why we see no reason to change our minds," Fico said.

Slovakia has however agreed that they would consider reckognising Kosovo once it has been voted in the UN by majority and its a member of the UN.
