Asked how the integration of the Western Balkans would be handled technically, considering the fact that some EU member-states have recognized Kosovo, while others have not, Moratinos said that the integration of the region into the EU must be subject to a "widespread consensus".
The Spanish minister added that the recognition of Kosovo is not a condition for Serbia's integration, and that his country supports Serbia's proposal to continue status negotiations without imposed solutions, in order to find a solution acceptable for all sides involved.
Moratinos said that the conditions must be created for the European perspective of the region to be "in the best interest of all, and not exclusively against the interests of Serbia".
