Meanwhile, Venezuela and Kyrgystan have stated publicly they would refuse to breach international law.

In Brussels, Russian ambassador to NATO Dmitry Rogozin said that Kosovo's precedent has endangered world security.

"Kosovo is not a unique case, it is a textbook rule that is being created by a number of countries, an example for all breakaway republics," he said.

Separatist territories will now act under the principle: "By having said 'А' in Kosovo, we will say 'B' in South Ossetia, Abkhazia, Transdniestria, in Corsica and elsewhere," Rogozin said.
