Along with Spain, Greece, Slovakia and Cyprus, Romania is one of five EU countries that have not recognized Kosovo's unilaterally declared independence. With the exception of Cyprus, these states are also NATO members.
Baconschi noted that things in Kosovo cannot go back to the way they were, but that Romania hopes Belgrade and Pristina will be able to cooperate and normalize relations for the benefit of stability in the Western Balkans
