On the second day of their visit to the European Parliament (EP), members of the Kosovo Assembly discussed in Brussels the prospects for economic and political development in Kosovo, rule of law and the pressing need to fight corruption. Koha Ditore reports that the fierce reaction from Serbia to the fact that the Kosovo flag was placed in the working rooms of the EP were not successful and that the attempts by a Greek parliamentarian to try and avoid mention of attributes that make Kosovo a state also were not successful. As a result the meeting ended without the removal of the Kosovo flag and with a joint statement which does not single Kosovo out from other independent countries, the paper adds. EP special envoy to Serbia, Jelko Kacin, said that the EP only puts up the UN flag to represent Kosovo in cases when Serbian officials are also present. “Now when we speak with Kosovo representatives, we deal with the Republic of Kosovo,” Kacin said. www.newkosovareport.com/20080530963/Politics/European-Parliament-treats-Kosovo-as-a-state.html
