Azerbaijan, Baku, 6 March /corr. TrendNews S.Agayeva / The
representative of the OSCE sees precedent between Kosovo and
Nagorno-Karabakh problems. "Irrespective of the difference between
Kosovo and Nagorno-Karabakh conflicts, the Kosovo model of settling
the conflict may be a precedent for the Nagorno-Karabakh problem,"
the chief consultant of the OSCE, Dov Lints, said in Baku on 6
March, while giving a speech at the international seminar of NATO
Parliamentary Assembly which took place in Azerbaijan's capital.
"The problems should be resolved. Otherwise new victims would appear
and actions with the separatist mood would be carried out," the OSCE
envoy said.
According to him, the conflicting sides need to sit behind the table
of talks and fully isolate the separatist-mood forces.
On 17 Feb, Kosovo declared its independence. Belgrade described the
declaration illegal and called on the international community to
annul it, as it contrasts with the international law.
