Bratislava, March 27 (CTK) - The governing coalition of Slovakia will push through the declaration in the parliament that will reject Kosovo's independence as a resolution to the effect was passed by the parliamentary foreign committee.

The resolution says that Kosovo's full independence would not give stability to the Balkans.

However, the opposition Slovak Democratic and Christian Union-Democratic Party (SDKU-DS) says that the text admits the declaration of Kosovo's independence.

The parliament may probably end a lengthy debate on Slovakia's position on the future of the South Serbian province. The debate has led to the drafting of five various versions of the declaration with which the deputies wanted to comment on Martti Ahtisaari's plan in Kosovo.

The latest draft is only supported by the coalition parties, while the opposition is against it.

The SDKU-DS resents it that it does not thoroughly oppose Kosovo's independence as the text contains a mention about a "full and unrestricted independence," while Ahtisaari's plan proposed to the United Nations Security Council only suggests limited independence. 

Besides, the text includes no mention of Serbia's integrity, which was resented by Jozef Rydlo, a deputy for the ultra nationalist Slovak National Party (SNS). 

However, like the Smer-SD and the Movement for a Democratic Slovakia-the People's Party (HZDS-LS), the SNS will back the declaration.

"I will fulfil my obligation and I will vote for it despite my conviction," Rydlo told the committee. 

Earlier today, the Foreign Ministry published a statement saying that they when deciding on Kosovo's future, Slovakia will "respect objective reality."

Foreign Minister Jan Kubis said earlier that Kosovo's independence was all but irreversible.However, other Slovak government representatives have rejected Kosovo's independence.

Slovakia is an elected member of the United Nations Security, which will probably resolve the Kosovo issue.
