Antonio Milososki, Macedonian Foreign Minister stated on Wednesday that his country, as far as the recognition of Kosovo’s unilaterally proclaimed independence was in question, was on standby.

In an interview in Vienna, Milososki said – We want to maintain normal relations with both Belgrade and Pristina, because they are important trade partners. He said, Serbia cannot bring harm so easily to Austria or Great Britain, but when Macedonia is in question, this can be done more easily and represent a temptation for the radical forces in Serbia.

Milososki pointed out that every Albanian party in Macedonia was interested in the soonest possible recognition of Kosovo. He said – they have discussed and they are discussing the issue with our Albanian coalition partner, as well as with the opposition Albanian party, and explained the situation to them.
