Romanian President Traian Basescu bewares of the use of Kosovo experience in the Post Soviet countries.

He said that Russia gives little support to the solution of frozen conflicts. He said that despite Transdniestria is a part of Moldova, Russia's warm attitude towards the Igor Smirnov regime is felt. "Despite that the strongest states of the world have been involved in the solution of CIS frozen conflicts over the last 10 years, none of them was settled," Traian Basescu said.

Romanian President thinks that in order to achieve positive results the conflicts should not be discriminated; a unique method of approaching should be applied. "Each conflict is applied a separate method of approaching. I think this kind of approaching is wrong. It also concerns Kosovo region," he said.

The President considers that the recognition of Kosovo's independence can be precedent in the solution of other frozen conflicts. "If the reason for the recognition of Kosovo's independence is that 84% of its population consists of Albans, this precedent can be applied to Transdniestria and other conflict regions," he said.

Romanian President said that the extent of autonomy, the preservation of culture and traditions of national minorities, not "the establishment of new states" can be discussed in the process of solution of frozen conflicts, APA Eastern bureau reports.
