Moscow astonished by Obama’s claims that decision on Kosovo was taken at referendum

International observers called this statement “an incredible mistake” that was based on bogus information.
“This claim on the part of the US President causes astonishment since there was no plebiscite in Kosovo, all the more so a plebiscite coordinated with the international community,” the Russian Foreign Ministry said. “A decision of breaking away from Serbia was taken by “parliament” in Pristina in 2008.”
“However, we can only agree that fateful decisions should be taken through referendums, the way it was done in Crimea, not in private,” he said.
