Spanish authorities say they will never recognize Kosovo as an independent country, because they are comparing Kosovo with Bask region. Let me confirm to the public opinion that Kosovo has nothing in common with this region. The whole world knows Spain hasn't sent there troops in order to commit genocide and massacres. Nevertheless, Spain has hinted till now they are pro serbian. Shame ! They support criminals!
