  7. “As the Standards for Kosovo document states, the future for Kosovo must be one in which all people, regardless of ethnic background, race or religion, are free to live, work and travel without fear, hostility or danger, and where there is tolerance, justice and peace for everyone. Our attitude towards the future of Kosovo will depend heavily on the extent to which that statement matches the reality on the ground in Kosovo, particularly in regard to Kosovo Serb and non- Albanian communities. The emergence of such a Kosovo will contribute to moving the western Balkans region towards European integration. Those indicators mean that Kosovo would not return to the situation prevailing there before March 1999. I now resume my functions as President of the Council.”

  8. “That process will empower local communities and promote the further reform of local government. Decentralization provides a critical mechanism to protect minority rights, thus making it a priority element in the political development of Kosovo. We recognize the interest of Belgrade in that process and welcome its thoughts, which can enrich the Pristina-led process. We are committed to decentralization and stand ready to assist the Special Representative of the Secretary-General in that area should he so request. Let me close by reaffirming my Government's commitment to the Contact Group statement of September, which said that Kosovo's future, like that of the entire region, is as part of Europe. The basis of any settlement must include the promotion of security and stability in the Balkans.”

  9. “The primary responsibility of the next provisional government in Kosovo is to accelerate implementation of the standards, ahead of the mid-2005 review. But the United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK) has an essential role to play in that process. UNMIK, under the able leadership of the Special Representative of the Secretary-General, has prioritized the implementation of the standards to focus on ensuring the security and protection of all ethnic groups. We fully support the Special Representative's efforts. Decentralization is an essential element in protecting the rights of ethnic groups. As recommended in the Eide report, UNMIK has begun the important process of developing ways to devolve more authorities to the community level.”

  10. “I will now make a statement in my capacity as representative of the United States. I would like to begin by thanking the Special Representative of the Secretary-General for his informative and comprehensive briefing. We thank him for his hard work and able leadership in Kosovo, and we look forward to continuing to work closely with him. We also welcome the insights provided to the United Nations by Ambassador Kai Eide of Norway. The United States remains committed to a secure, stable, democratic and multi-ethnic Kosovo. In that vein, we congratulate the people of Kosovo on conducting an open, democratic election in October. We encourage all people in Kosovo to take an active part in the political process, including those who chose not to vote. Participation represents the best way for all in Kosovo to advance their interests.”
