Kosovo President Hashim Thaci has said that EU officials should not "abuse" the pro-European orientation of citizens of Kosovo.

Beta reported him as saying that this pro-European orientation has been abused by individuals in the EU in order to humiliate Kosovo or delay its European perspective.

"Kosovo needs to move quickly towards a concrete European perspective, not a process that can last five, ten or 20 years," Thaci has told the Klan Kosova broadcaster.

According to him, Kosovo "holds no blackmail card and the possibility to call on Russia, Turkey or Albania."

"All Serbia has to do is talk about Russia, and they (representatives of the EU) immediately accept each of their ideas. They in Brussels are thirsty for Belgrade's single smile, just so that Russia is not mentioned," Thaci said.

He also assessed that conditioning EU's visa liberalization with demarcation of border with Montenegro was "essentially a trap for Kosovo - bearing in mind that it was impossible to provide a two-thirds majority in favor of ratifying the agreement in the Assembly of Kosovo."
