MOSCOW. Sept 18 (Interfax) - Acting Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has warned that a unilateral recognition of Kosovo's independence will have dangerous consequences both for Europe and other regions of the world.

"I do not see how a unilateral recognition of Kosovo's independence can stabilize the situation in Europe. It will rather trigger a chain reaction in various parts and continents of the world," Lavrov told a press conference in Moscow on Tuesday after talks with French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner.
