“On the other hand, this approach would see simultaneous progress on clarifying Kosovo's status issue and identifying ways of promoting self-determination for all Kosovars, while seeking to uphold the rights and interests of its minorities. As a first step, the international community must act to hold back the efforts being made to consolidate parallel structures and to pre-empt future discussions on political status. While the plan presented by Belgrade has been advanced unilaterally, this is an acknowledgement of the need to begin consideration of the status issue. Other ideas on the status issue, especially from the Kosovars themselves, should be welcome. The Council and UNMIK, while securing the implementation of standards, should begin to give consideration to proposals on the status issue.”

“Instead of transforming the "standards before status" issue into dogma, the Council should move with more deliberate political realism to promote peace and prosperity in Kosovo. As Mr. Holkeri said this morning, the time is coming when we shall have to consider how to handle difficult choices. We agree. The Council, in our view, should promote a "status with standards" approach - a two-pronged approach that, on the one hand, would hold the Kosovars, both the people and leadership, accountable for implementing the standards programme, to work to end extremism and intolerance, and to create friendly and cooperative relations with their neighbours.”

“Some, including Pakistan, have felt that the entire process of seeking to promote standards without addressing the status issue has been flawed in its conception and inappropriate to prepare Kosovo for the transition from war to peace, from socialism to a market economy, and from international political limbo to political and legal clarity. We need to determine whether the failure to clarify the status of Kosovo has fed the frustrations and grievances of both sides, hardened positions and perpetuated the proclivity towards violence. Continued delay in addressing the question of political status will, in our view, increase the complexity of the situation and the dangers of revived violence.”

“We understand that the implementation plan is also being revised in some key areas to take into account the implications of the recent events. Pakistan will continue to offer its fullest support to Mr. Holkeri in his efforts for the implementation of standards, in line with the provisions of resolution 1244 (1999), and to establish a multi-ethnic, tolerant, democratic and peaceful society in Kosovo. Mr. Holkeri has remarked that "the recent violence has forced us at UNMIK to take a long, hard look at ourselves".”

“Problems persist, especially in the key areas of UNMIK's mandate to ensure sustainable returns, community rights, freedom of movement and the functioning of democratic institutions. Extremists from both sides continue to obstruct meaningful progress in these areas. Parallel structures continue to exist, despite repeated calls for their dismantling. At the same time, Kosovo's economic situation has continued to deteriorate, with marginal support from the international community. Direct dialogue between Pristina and Belgrade has not yet resumed, in spite of commitments by both sides to do so. Above all, security in Kosovo remains fragile, in spite of the presence of thousands of KFOR troops. Mr. Holkeri, we believe, is making every effort to redress the situation, to defuse tensions and to move forward on the implementation plan.”

“Holkeri, and of the Kosovo Force (KFOR) in restoring stability and order in Kosovo during and after these tragic events. The Secretary-General's report, however, is a sobering assessment of the situation in Kosovo in the aftermath of the March violence. We note with concern its assessment that "the situation in Kosovo remains tense, and further violence is possible". (S/2004/348, para. 9) The violence has been the most serious blow thus far to inter-ethnic relations in Kosovo. Despite the painstaking efforts of UNMIK, both past and present, we are no nearer healing the wounds that have been inflicted on Kosovo for so long and which we sought to heal when resolution 1244 (1999) was adopted by the Security Council.”

My delegation also welcomes the participation of the Foreign Minister of Serbia and Montenegro, Mr. Vuk Draskovic, in this debate.
