Russian Patriarch Alexy II said that the idea of creating a so-called Greater Albania could be a time bomb for Europe which could undermine the whole present system of international relations.

Alexy II said he agreed with analysts warning that the unilateral declaration of Kosovo independence will not be the last in the process of disintegration of Europe.
Many Europeans understand this subconsciously, but are acting in line with US suggestions, he said.
Alexy II said he recently conferred with a Greek minister who said he feared that ethnic Albanian enclaves in Greece might seek independence too.
All this can result in a great source of tension in the heart of Europe, he said.
He reiterated that decisions on Kosovo are being taken by people who have never been there and who do not know what Kosovo means to Serbs.
"Kosovo was the fateful site in Serb history, it is soaked in Serb blood", Alexy II said.
