We call upon both countries to engage in a further intensification of bilateral cooperation to speedily resolve the outstanding an unregulated issues, including the important problem of the demarcation and settlement of the common border. In conclusion, I would like to express our gratitude to all of the personnel of the United Nations Mission for their active and important work in carrying out the mandate given by the Security Council for this operation.

6. “Nevertheless, Timor-Leste continues to face such drastic problems as a lack of resources and a shortage of skilled trained personnel, particularly in the executive branch and the law enforcement and judicial areas. With the support of the United Nations and the international community, the people of Timor-Leste still have a great deal to do in order to achieve genuine self-sufficiency ahead of next year's conclusion of UNMISET's mandate. We are pleased that the domestic political situation in Timor-Leste has continued to be generally stable. On the whole, the preparatory process for local elections is being successfully carried out. Those elections will be very significant, as they will be the first expression of popular will since the country gained its independence.”

We are grateful to the Secretary-General, the Secretariat and Assistant Secretary-General Annabi for the detailed information provided regarding developments in Timor-Leste. We agree with the major conclusions of the Secretary-General's report (S/2004/669). In recent months, the authorities of Timor-Leste, along with the active assistance of the United Nations Mission of Support in East Timor (UNMISET), have been able to achieve tangible progress towards further developing a legislative foundation and strengthening the basic institutions of the new Timorese State. It is important that the process to establish genuine sovereignty for this country has been consistent.”

We are certain that only a coordinated effort by the international community will contribute to bolstering stability and security in the province. The establishment of parallel tracks and outside efforts may only send the wrong signal to the parties to the Kosovo conflict. We would also like to associate ourselves with the kind words of gratitude conveyed to the former Special Representative of the Secretary-General, Mr. Harri Holkeri, in connection with his efforts to promote the peace process in Kosovo.”

32. “In that regard, we note in particular the conclusion of the Secretary- General that it is the leaders of the Kosovo Albanian majority who bear the primary responsibility to establish a relationship with the minority communities in the province, who were the ones subjected to premeditated violence in March. Unless the Albanian majority actually demonstrates genuine and constructive interest, it is hard to anticipate Kosovo's Serbian and other minority communities returning to provincial political processes. My delegation welcomes the appointment of Mr. Soren Jessen-Petersen as Special Representative of the Secretary-General and Chief of the United Nations Mission in Kosovo.”

33. “We also view as unacceptable attempts by certain political forces in Kosovo to pressure UNMIK and to view it as an impediment to realizing the ambitions of the Albanian majority in the province. We share the Secretary-General's concern that there continue to be radical, extremist forces in the province preparing to return to active political activities. We believe that it would be useful once again to underscore that premeditated attacks on UNMIK and KFOR are unacceptable and that they must be condemned in the strongest terms. The forthcoming elections for the provincial Assembly will be a serious test for the process of implementing standards in Kosovo.”

34. “Along with other proposals, it would also be appropriate to consider the Serbian plan for a political settlement of the current situation in Kosovo. That is particularly important in the context of establishing constructive interaction by UNMIK and the Provisional Institutions of Self-Government with Kosovo Serbs and Belgrade. We agree with the Secretary-General that much remains to be done to build capacity and enhance the effectiveness of the Provisional Institutions of Self- Government. At the same time, however, the practice of involving them in activities within the framework of reserved powers must be brought into full compliance with resolution 1244 (1999). Transferring those powers at this phase is unacceptable. At any rate, such a transfer must be preceded by a decision of the Security Council in that regard.”

35. “Not just in words but in actions, local government should ensure the conditions for all communities in Kosovo to be able to live together in a single multi- ethnic and democratic society, as called for in Security Council resolution 1244 (1999). We also take note of the framework document for local government reform prepared by the joint UNMIK-Provisional Institutions working groups. We believe that document should further take into account the interests and concerns of the non-Albanian population, and of the Serbs in particular. We look forward to the recommendations to be made by the Secretary-General in accordance with the Security Council's request regarding a balanced model for the devolution of authority from the provincial level to local communities in Kosovo.”

36. “The Provisional Institutions must demonstrate genuine results in their work in all the priority areas of the standards process, including by establishing an inter- community dialogue and investigating the actions of political leaders, administrative mechanisms and media that may have contributed to the spread of violence in March. Additional robust steps are also needed to ensure equal security for all the inhabitants of the province, as well as to guarantee freedom of movement and to protect the rights of minorities. Reforming local government will also have an important role in normalizing the situation in Kosovo.”

    2004-08-05 · UN Security Council · Security Council, S/PV.5017 (2004) · source

37. “We are also puzzled at the failure of the Provisional Institutions to condemn inflammatory materials that appeared in the province's media at the time of the violence, as well as at their failure to support recommendations made by the temporary Media Commissioner regarding investigating incidents of violence. We support the Secretary-General's appeal to the Provisional Institutions to implement all priority actions set out in the revised Standards Implementation Plan, as well as to immediately translate into specific actions the promises they made regarding the commitment to create conditions for the sustainable return and integration of all displaced persons.”

38. “Unfortunately, we must reach the unequivocal conclusion that minority rights - and in particular those of Kosovo's Serbs - continue to be violated. Non-Albanian communities in Kosovo are today living in greater isolation than they have at any time in the past three years. Like the Secretary-General, we are seriously alarmed at the lack of desire on the part of the Kosovo Assembly to focus on the urgent priorities associated with ensuring progress in the province. We are particularly puzzled by the failure of the Provisional Institutions of Self-Government to enact the Implementation Plan's priority actions, especially those aimed at investigating and punishing provincial and municipal bodies and leaders of political movements whose statements or actions condoned the violence of last March.”

39. “Healthcare facilities that had served minority patients have not been rebuilt, particularly in the area of Kosovo Polje, in the Pristina region. The returns process has been reversed. One must conclude that the key principle of multi-ethnicity continues to be inoperative in practice, both at the provincial and municipal levels, where Kosovo Albanians are predominant. After all, as the Secretary- General has correctly noted, it is specifically the majority community that bears the primary responsibility for the well-being of minorities. It is of particular concern that neither local leaders nor civil society supported UNMIK's efforts to maintain law and order in the wake of the violence in March.”

40. “Only the genuine achievement of democratic standards in Kosovo can serve as the basis for the Council to take a decision on whether discussions can begin on the issue of future status. Unfortunately, the progress noted in the Secretary-General's report in the activities of the Provisional Institutions of Self-Government is still extremely limited, particularly with regard to the key issues of the Kosovo Standards Implementation Plan, including in the areas of rebuilding the properties damaged in March, resuming the process of returns to the province by refugees and displaced persons and ensuring freedom of movement. The facts speak for themselves. Approximately 2,400 people are still unable to return to their homes following the wave of violence in March.”

41. “The widespread surge of ethnically motivated violence in March, provoked by extremists in Kosovo, Serbia and Montenegro, and directed particularly against Kosovo Serbs, dealt a serious blow to the normalization process in the province and called into question the timetable for implementing the democratic standards established for Kosovo by the international community. In those events, we see a conscious attempt at the ethnic cleansing of the non-Albanian population in Kosovo. We are certain that no one should be allowed to benefit from, or to seek political objectives through, the use of violent measures. The current situation in the province requires full implementation of Security Council resolution 1244 (1999). In that context, we remain committed to full and consistent support for the policy of "standards before status".”
