"If [UN Security Council Resolution] 1244 is good enough for a military presence, it should be good for a civilian mission as well," Rupel said, in an apparent reference to Serbian and Russian claims that an EU mission to Kosovo would be illegal.
"Ako je [Rezolucija Saveta bezbednosti UN] 1244 dovoljna za vojno prisustvo, onda bi trebalo da bude adekvatna i za civilnu misiju", rekao je Rupel, očigledno misleći na tvrdnje Srbije i Rusije da bi misija EU na Kosovu bila nezakonita.
