Argentina will not recognize Kosovo as an independent state as long as the issue of the Falkland Islands remains unresolved, Taiana underlined in an interview for the Friday issue of Buenos Aires daily Clarin.
The Falkland Islands is a territory in the Atlantic Ocean which London has kept under control ever since 1833. The Argentinians tried to return the Islands to their sovereignty by force during the Falklands War in 1982.
The minister explained that Argentina now wanted the Falkland Islands to return under its jurisdiction by political means, through negotiations with the UK.
“If we were to recognize Kosovo, which has declared its independence unilaterally, without an agreement with Serbia, we would set a dangerous precedent that would seriously threaten our chances of a political settlement in the case of the Falkland Islands,” he pointed out, and added that President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner would not give any official statement on the issue, reiterating that there would be no recognition of Kosovo.
Recalling that in 1999, Argentina had voted in favor of UN Security Council Resolution 1244, Taiana said that his country “then advocated, as it does now, respect for territorial integrity.”
“We should not forget that Resolution 1244 explicitly states that the dispute can only be resolved through an agreement or talks with the parties involved,” concluded the Argentine foreign minister.
Kosovo in EU? You must be joking. Kosovo is like a third world country to us! No harm intended. In the end Kosovo is welcome (as part of Serbia). But that will take much longer then 10 years!
Much longer!

so when a peaceful, prosperous and democratic nation decides not to recognize Kosovo its "who cares what Argentina says" but when Afghanistan is the first to recognize its NATO colony brother.. then its hands up in the air
Kosovo in the EU in 10 years?? HAHAHA even the guys on your side said Kosovo will join the EU in 20 years.. and thats of course being optimistic
the only future for this "country" is with heroin needles

Why it matters so much for Argentina to recognise Kosova? The only one which really matters is E.U. Kosova in a period of 10 yrs time will be an E.U member which is important. The U.N seat will take quite a long time. If Albania gets in E.U ahead of Serbia will veto Serbian request up to the point that Serbia accepts its independence. The proces know is unstopable.

Why does it matter what the E.U. says. it is quite obvious that the decision which was needed to be made by all EU countries was only allowed to be decided by a hand full (germany, france, etc).
It is quite obvious the whole union is nothing more than a puppet being played by the US. To see this, little more than to look at why other countries seeking independence haven't been able to is needed. The US couldn't place "missile defence systems" on sovereign soil, and kosovo was the closest the thing to their ideal location, and it needed absolutely no political and diplomatical "paperwork"(obstacles) to be filled out.
Albania gets in before serbia and blocks serbia? HAHAHAH oh my, that is so funny.
1. I highly doubt serbia gives a flying fudge about the EU, after all, EU has just supported the stealing of serbian land,illegal in every which way.
And the way that albania is drifting along the chances of it getting into the EU are pretty dismal, even less than the chances of serbia now being offered a place.
Argentina, thank you from the bottom of my heart, nice to see that there are still decent, law abiding, moral people in this world. God knows the EU has just become a bigger joke than america.

To EA and all k-albanian posters
this is exactly why so few people like you guys!
I have not read any normal commments about any of the coutries that didn't want to recognize a proven illegal act, of course Kosovo has proven for so long that it belongs to the 'bigs' with a proven track record in economy, justice and so on... Sorry, I forgot, you have a proven track record in only one field which everybody knows too well....
If you are that smart, that patriot, that hard workers like your criminal PM keep on saying, then I suggest you get your act together, start working on the terrible image that you have created all around, start reconstructing something in your region, ask your eldorado expatriates to come back (I bet that nobody is even thinking about this) and stop always leaning on other's shoulders, then maybe, people will start respecting you!
And don't thing that because you have the illegal recon of a few 'big' powers you have achieve all, no, they got rid of a problem and created another bigger one and you will remain a political toy

South American Countries against Kosovo Independence
-Brazil
-Venezuela
-Bolivia
-Argentina
BTW I love how when any country that announces they dont support independence, the Albanians say that country dosent matter.
BTW Albania wont be getting into the EU before Serbia. Stop thinking like a nationalist albanian, and look at the facts. Albania is behind on reforms to meet EU standards. Im Serbian and i know Croatia will get into EU before Serbia, you know why? Croatia has managed to reform faster because they have no NATO troops on they're country. Use your brain, not your hate, and you will see logic will prevail.

The Yankees have no chances to persuade their own backyard the Latin America to support their Kosovo violence. None of the South American states is going to support them.
Possibly they will be able press upon Mexico or Culumbia but their attitude will change soon after the governments are replaced. And it won't take long. So the American influence in the world today is mostly concentrated in Europe which have neither will power nor personal dignity.

Isn't britain located in Europe? What the hell are the british doing all the way in the Atlantic? Oh ya I almost forgot... it's called illegal land theft and occupation.. just like what they are doing in Serbia.

I hate to be the one who bursts your bubble, but Kosovo lost its best chance to be a part of the EU when it left Serbia, and Serbia's chances were dismal. Kosovo will not be a sovergn EU member, you should stop believing the western hype. In ten years, Kosovo will still be occupied by foreign troops and it's economy will be based on foriegn AID. Albanians in Kosovo will give up many dream and many aspiration when they realize that their western "geusts" have no intention of leaving

Nice one Argentina, almost makes up for harbouring all those Croat Ustase from WWII but defintely for the 5 goals you put past Serbia in the World Cup.
Its a bit like the Eurovision song contest right now with all the results coming in from all the countries. And lets not forget who had the winning song.

I thank Argentina for being that brave to say NO to USA and its puppets. Now, look the irony over the Falkland dispute between UK and Argentina. The UK went to war some peace of land thousands miles away and Serbia is not supposed to defend its province. Hypocrisy unbelievable!
