[01] BULGARIAN AND ROMANIAN FMs - KOSSOVO - CYPRUSForeign Ministers of Bulgaria and Romania have stressed that any future recognition of Kossovo can by no means lead to the recognition of the Turkish occupied areas of Cyprus.In statements to CNA, Bulgarian Foreign Minister Ivailo Kalfin and his Romanian counterpart Adrian Gioroianu underscored that the situation in Cyprus and the one in Kossovo are two entirely different matters, which cannot be linked. ``I would like to underline once again that the case of Kosovo is unique and in no way sets a precedent. We do not see any logic that could link the status of Kosovo with recognition of the occupied areas of Cyprus``, the Bulgarian Minister told CNA.
