France has decided to support Serbia on its path to the European Union, a move which doesn’t hinge on Serbia’s recognition of Kosovo’s independence, Novosti reported, citing French European Affairs Minister Jean Leonetti.

Reconciliation between Kosovo and Serbia “is not a formal condition, but there is a possible way between legal recognition and political normalization,” the newspaper quoted Leonetti as saying.
