Poland comes out in support of a Kosovo state

This means the Foreign Ministry have come out against Serbia and supported muslim Albanians, which account to 90% of Kosovo's population. "We support the plan of Ahtisaari," said the spokesperson for the Foreign Ministry, relating to the plan of the Finnish diplomat according to which Kosovo should be announced an independent state. It also states that the Albanians have to guarantee the rights of the Serbian population in Kosovo and ensure that they will not try to merge Kosovo with Albania. Some EU countries, such as Spain and Slovakia are against this plan, as they claim it will set a wrong example for other minorities that they are dealing with in their own countries.
