NATO "Urges" Russia to Reverse Recognition of South Ossetia and Abkhazia

August 27, 2008 (LPAC)--NATO ambassadors issued a statement which "condemns the decision of the Russian Federation to extend recognition to the South Ossetia and Abkhazia regions of Georgia and calls upon Russia to reverse its decision." Russia's ambassador to NATO, Dmitri Rogozin instead urged NATO members to reconsider their recognition of Kosovo, according to an account by RIA Novosti. "I am calling on NATO countries to withdraw and review their decision concerning Kosovo's independence--otherwise NATO's peacekeeping mission in the Balkans will be called into question," he said. Commenting on the NATO ambassadors' statement, he said the alliance "should act on the premise that this is the new political reality."
