But I need to install an RPM that it is in a third-party repository... so, I have only to solution: 1- adding this external repository (but I supposed that virtual machine where build is done has not access to internet) 2- adding the RPM to source files and installing it in the %prec phase

I don't want download the source package and add another .spec for build the application into my home project and then use BuildRequires... because I need this RPM only for one for the distribution that I support.

I think nevertheless it's the best approach, to go for a 2nd package for this dependency in this case. Somebody might as well download once the src.rpm (which is also published by the OBS) and try to compile it on another system. You will most likely put that person in a lot of trouble and non working builds.
