"Very recently we have seen that the United States and EU countries made a decision to transfer the province (Kosovo) from an undefined status to the subject of international law", he said, adding that "Kosovo will become a universal precedent for resolving the issue of unrecognized states".
"If Albanians were allowed to decide their fate in the most democratic way - by ballot, why then the peoples of unrecognized republics of the former Soviet Union cannot do the same", Shevchuk said.
