Ukraine Should Never Have Had Crimea - Austrian Presidential Candidate



Europe
02:28 13.03.2016(updated 07:36 13.03.2016)

The Austrian Party of Freedom Candidate for the country’s President Norbert Hofer said in an interview with Die Presse that Crimea should never have been handed over to Ukraine and that it’s now high time for the West to begin lifting sanctions on Russia.

“The major mistake was done very long time ago, when announcement that Crimea was no longer Russian made,” Hofer said, referring to 1954 cession of the peninsula from then-Soviet Russia to the Ukraine Soviet Republic.

According to Hofer, an internationally controlled referendum on Crimea’s national self-determination should have been carried out shortly after the USSR dissolution in 1991.

The presidential candidate noted there was a particular lack of international observers at the 2014 Crimea referendum. Nonetheless, he said the vote results would remain the same if all Western standards were respected at the time.

The majority [of the Crimean population] would have voted for Russia,” he asserted, adding that the referendum on self-determination should have also been held in eastern regions of Ukraine.

Despite Hofer’s assertion that Crimea reunification with Russia was in violation of international laws, he stressed that the West will “have to become more pragmatic at some point,” and gradually lift anti-Moscow sanctions.

“It’s impossible to keep prolonging those sanctions forever,” the politician said, noting that such a situation adversely affects both Russia and Austria.

On March 16, 2014, some 96 percent of Crimean people chose to rejoin Russia in a referendum.

Hofer: Kosovo is Serbia


By InSerbia with agencies -

May 30, 2016

VIENNA – Kosovo-Metohija is a part of Serbia, says Vice-President of the right-wing Freedom Party of Austria Norbert Hofer, who lost in the recent presidential run-off from left-wing independent candidate Alexander Van der Bellen, adding that the Dayton Agreement confirms the legitimacy and legality of the existence of Republika Srpska (RS).

In an interview to Belgrade-based daily Kurir, Hofer says he is famous for publicly speaking against Kosovo’s admission to international organizations.

Unilateral moves in the context of Serbia’s southern province make the reconciliation process harder, Hofer says.

As for his stance on Republika Srpska and Serbs in Bosnia-Herzegovina, Hofer says the Dayton Agreement is a valid international deal, which confirms the legitimacy and legality of the existence of RS.

Our party has always condemned all attempts of certain political actors in Europe and outside it to change this status or centralize BiH even more, without consent of the people of Republika Srpska. For these reasons, we have always backed the RS leadership, notably (RS President Milorad) Dodik in pursuing an independent policy, which ensures peace and stability for Serbs and all other citizens of RS, Hofer says.
