"The settlement of the Kosovo problem is only possible within the framework of international law based on negotiations," Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov told the General Assembly on Friday.
"Unilateral steps will not lead to lasting peace and will create the risk of destabilization in the Balkans and other regions," Lavrov said.
That argument has strong resonance in Spain -- facing problems with Basque separatists -- while Greece, Cyprus and Slovakia are also known to be reluctant to recognize any unilateral move by Kosovo or an imposed UN solution.
