Abkhazia determined to make its independence campaign successful

Interfax

MOSCOW. Feb 18 (Interfax) - The unrecognized republics of Abkhazia, South Ossetia and Transdniestria will continue their independence campaign after the recognition of Kosovo, Abkhaz leader Sergei Bagapsh told a Monday press conference at the Interfax main office.

"If anyone thinks that Abkhazia, South Ossetia and Transdniestria will stop after the recognition of Kosovo, they are making a big mistake," he said.
"We said one and two years ago that the recognition of Kosovo was immaterial to us. We started our [independence] campaign earlier and would continue it to the end," he said.

Abkhaz president wants embargo of his republic to be lifted

Abkhaz President Sergei Bagapsh said he would call for the lifting of the embargo on his republic and the restoration ofexternal traffic.

"Once they recognize Kosovo, it is probably necessary to reconsider the embargo on Abkhazia and resume sea, air and railroad traffic," he told a press conference at the Interfax main office on Monday.
