White House rejects Tadić’s statement 27 June 2007 | 09:33 | Source: FoNet, Beta *WASHINGTON -- U.S. officials rejected Serbian President Boris Tadić’s claim that Kosovo's independence would set a precedent. * State Department official Tom Casey disagreed with Tadić’s claim that Kosovo independence would destabilize the region and hurt its economic future as well. “The U.S. does not see Kosovo as setting a precedent in the extended region, nor anywhere else in the world,” Casey said. “Kosovo’s circumstances are unique. The situation is being taken care of according to the rules of United Nations Security Council resolution 1244, and we expect that it will be solved that way,” Casey said. “We will continue to support the plan of Martti Ahtisaari as a basis for establishing Kosovo independence,” Casey told Radio Free Europe.
