In 2004, Putin made him presidential special envoy to the EU in Brussels, where he earned a reputation for maladroit statements [ [http://thinkexist.com/quotes/sergei_yastrzhembsky/3.html "Sergei Yastrzhembsky quotes", ThinkExist.com online dictionary of quotations] .Accessed: 07-18-2008.] . That post Vedomosti on 8 May 2008 reported said would become defunct when he left the post after Putin stepped down. Towards the end of his posting to Brussels, Yastrzhembsky warned the EU that recognizing Kosovo's independence would open a "Pandora's box" of separatism in Europe.
