When Russia speaks out against recognizing Kosovo's independence, there are quite a few feathers to ruffle among other EU members that have separatist issues of their own. It appears that President Vladimir Putin struck a chord in making the Spanish comparison. In reference to the Basque region and Catalunya he said: "Aren't you ashamed, you Europeans, to have double standards to solve the same issues in different regions of the world. What's the use of encouraging separatism? People don't want to live in a Spain in the heart of single state. Well, let's support them then!"
Spain has demanded some clarification over these remarks.
