Chystá sa Abcházsko na nezávislosť?
Podľa “vzoru“ Kosova sa Abcházsko bude snažiť o získanie nezávislosti od Gruzínska.
Georgia's self-proclaimed republic of Abkhazia will eventually achieve independence just like Serbia's Kosovo gained sovereignty in February, the president of the unrecognized republic said on Wednesday.
The ex-Soviet breakaway region along with two other self-proclaimed republics, Georgia's South Ossetia and Moldova's Transdnestr, have stepped up their drive for self-rule since Kosovo's declaration of independence, requesting that Russia, the UN and other organizations recognize their sovereignty.
"We want a lawful state, independent and democratic... If Kosovo can be independent then so can Abkhazia," Sergei Bagapsh said in an interview with the Spanish El Pais newspaper.
Kosovo, with a 90% ethnic-Albanian majority, has been formally recognized as a sovereign state by over 35 countries including the U.S. and most EU members since it proclaimed its independence. Russia and China opposed Kosovo's independence.
"We [Abkhazia] do not want Moscow to recognize us in defiance of the United States in order to take revenge for Kosovo. We want independence because we have a right to it. Because we have deserved it," he said.
