1. “The resolution that the Security Council has just adopted will help begin the process needed to identify the elements of a long-term political solution for Kosovo.”

2. “Rather than offering vague promises and so-called concessions on matters of secondary importance, there must be a focus on the real issues, on matters that are of primary importance, without any delay or procrastination. In that context, we welcome the progress that has recently been made. Only in this way can Yugoslavia improve its international position. As a country directly affected by the situation on our borders, and having maintained fruitful, excellent relations with our neighbour to the south, Hungary ventures to hope that the day will soon come when we can welcome to international forums a Federal Republic of Yugoslavia that is at peace with itself and with the various ethnic and religious communities living on its territory.”

3. “It is indispensable that they should permit the return to Yugoslavia of long-term missions of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, and that they should recognize not only in words but in deeds the importance of full respect for the rights of minorities and of their participation in public life. This would go a long way towards halting the wave of violence and terrorism that is spreading over Kosovo. To do this, the Government of Yugoslavia will have to accept the logic of granting to non-Serb ethnic communities in Yugoslavia rights similar to those that it demands for Serb populations living outside its territory. To overcome the crisis, one must avoid the pitfalls of anti-Albanian - and anti-Serb - nationalist passions, which only poison the situation in Kosovo.”

4. “Belgrade must look forward rather than backward; it must base its policy not on the events of yesterday, not on old historical animosities that all of us - all of us - in Europe, including in Central and Eastern Europe, have experienced, but on a vision of tomorrow, on the interdependence and coexistence of communities of differing ethnic and religious origins. It is important that the Yugoslav authorities should sit at the negotiating table with representatives of the Kosovar Albanian community to resolve, peacefully and politically, the problems that face them.”

5. “This argument would not even deserve mention here if recent conflicts in this part of Europe had not reached such horrifying proportions. Given the tragedy and bloodshed that has swept over so many people, with 200,000 killed and 2 million exiled, I do not believe that I need to elaborate. Our essential task, here at the United Nations and in other international multilateral forums, consists precisely in preventing a deterioration of events in Kosovo such as took place in Bosnia and Herzegovina. To that end, the Government of Yugoslavia must admit the futility of arguing against the international community's offers of assistance.”

6. “The modalities for arrangements relating to the status of Kosovo will certainly depend on the outcome of a substantive dialogue, which we hope will begin without delay, between the authorities in Belgrade and the representatives of the Kosovar Albanians, with external participation. If it is to be acceptable to the parties, this outcome will have to be in conformity with the standards set by various relevant international instruments. In the meantime, patient but methodical work to introduce the greatest possible number of confidence measures, in order to create a climate conducive to such a dialogue, must continue relentlessly. It is reason on all sides, rather than blind impulse, that must prevail. Hungary cannot accept that the problem of Kosovo should be dealt with as a strictly internal matter.”

7. “It feels that it is only on the basis of this principle that the future of the region can be settled. On the other hand, it is also important to find a lasting solution to the question of the status of Kosovo and the problems relating to the enjoyment of human rights by the Albanian community, which has been living there for centuries. We believe that it is precisely the lack of appropriate attention over the years to the rights of minorities and to their legitimate claims that has led to the present situation. Having said that, we condemn recourse to violence and terrorism, whoever the perpetrators. Such actions can hardly bring about calm or lead to a genuine solution.”

8. “Tension in this region of Yugoslavia is a new and disturbing source of destabilization, all the more dramatic given that nearby we are witnessing the very welcome economic and political consolidation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, while in Croatia the process of the peaceful reintegration of Eastern Slavonia is progressing successfully. It is important to underline that the reasons for the crisis in Kosovo are not new and that they should have been addressed long ago. The authorities in the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia should have taken necessary measures much earlier to prevent the current explosion of violence. Repeated omissions in this area have led to a situation that threatens to ignite the whole region, which is already very volatile. Hungary considers Kosovo an integral part of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.”

9. “Mr. Erdos (Hungary) (interpretation from French): First allow me to congratulate you, Sir, on the work you have accomplished this month as President of the Security Council. Hungary associates itself with the statement made earlier by the Presidency of the European Union with regard to the problem of Kosovo. Like the entire international community, it is following with particular attention the serious events that are taking place in the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. As a neighbouring country, Hungary feels increasingly anxious about the evolving situation in Kosovo.”

10. “Here, Hungary welcomes yesterday's announcement on this matter by the President of the United States, and is prepared to continue to contribute to reaching the objectives of the Dayton Agreement. The Security Council can play an enormous role in the uniquely complex endeavour aimed at restoring normalcy to this sorely tried country.”

11. “(spoke in French) One might well wonder how many times the horrors of the past will have to be repeated. The parties in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the immediate neighbours of that country must also shoulder their share of the responsibility in efforts to reject vigorously aggressive nationalist, racist and ethnocentric theories - theories that in fact contributed greatly to kindling the inferno in the former Yugoslavia. We are convinced that in spite of the difficulties and the passage of time, the international community must not turn away from the developments in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and must maintain its civilian and military presence in that country.”

12. “We encourage the International Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia and the Stabilization Force to continue their activities in this sphere, while emphasizing the need to secure the full cooperation of all three communities in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and of neighbouring countries as well, so that the number of those brought to justice will accurately reflect the true dimensions of the atrocities committed there. It is time we remembered the bitter lessons of this bloody century of ours, recalling the words spoken at Nuremberg in November 1945 by the United States judge Robert Jackson: (spoke in English) "The wrongs which we seek to condemn and punish have been so calculated, so malignant and so devastating that civilization cannot tolerate their being ignored, because it cannot survive their being repeated".”

13. “Nor can we fail to underscore the importance of reconciliation in Bosnia and Herzegovina, for if peace and political and economic stability are not accompanied by the corresponding psychological changes in the citizenry, the situation in the country will remain fragile and the results of the peace process may be reversed. Administering justice, monitoring respect for human rights - including the rights of minorities - education, spreading the values of democracy and a free press could contribute greatly to this process. We note with satisfaction the arrest in Bosnia and Herzegovina of two more individuals accused of war crimes.”

14. “Nevertheless, we note that the efforts made to improve the economic situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina could be accelerated further if the necessary economic legislation were implemented and if the functioning of the central bodies were made more effective. It is harmful for Bosnia and Herzegovina that the laws which are absolutely necessary for the recovery of the country's economic life have not yet been approved by the competent bodies because of differences in views, a lack of confidence or the absence of political will.”

15. “Hungary joined the peacekeeping operations in 1996 by opening a base for the Stabilization Force at Taszar, in the south of our country, and by sending a logistical contingent of 500 people, which last year was able to rebuild 20 bridges used for railway and surface transportation. That contingent also began demining operations in the immediate vicinity of those bridges. This year the contingent is continuing its reconstruction activities without interruption, in order to facilitate the resumption of normal economic and commercial life in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Likewise, my country has participated in the operations of the International Police Task Force since it was created and at the beginning of this year again increased the number of its personnel serving in the Force.”

16. “It is also attached to the preservation of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Bosnia and Herzegovina and of all the other successor States of the former Yugoslavia. We reject vigorously the proposals that have been made here and there suggesting the dismemberment of Bosnia and Herzegovina as a solution. It is not necessary to dwell at length on the possible negative repercussions of such destructive ideas. We welcome the determination of the international community to proceed on the track of carrying out the civilian aspects of the Dayton Agreement. We also welcome the intention of the Security Council to extend the mandate of the United Nations Mission in Bosnia and Herzegovina for an additional period.”

17. “Mr. Erdos (Hungary) (interpretation from French): Hungary welcomes this discussion in the Security Council of the activities undertaken by the international community in Bosnia and Herzegovina and of the tasks that remain to be completed in order to implement the decisions made in the framework of the Dayton Agreement. We note in particular the importance of the conclusions of the Peace Implementation Conference held recently in Bonn, which emphasized building on the achievements of the peace process, continuing international assistance and strengthening the role of the High Representative. Hungary, which neighbours the Balkan region, is profoundly attached to a political settlement of the issues of conflict on the territory of the former Yugoslavia.”

18. “As a neighbouring country on the Danube, Hungary has suffered considerable damages and losses over the last two years as a result of these sanctions. However, it is quite clear that in the current grave circumstances, the political conditions that might make possible the relaxation and ultimate elimination of the sanctions have not yet been met. We therefore express the hope that when this draft resolution has been adopted, it and the various major initiatives and political contacts in process will be capable of restoring momentum to the peace process and bringing us nearer the end of this dreadful conflict, which, without doubt, will remain one of the darkest pages in the history of our times.”

19. “Hungary continues to support the diplomatic efforts aimed at bringing about a political settlement of the crisis. Given this context, the relevant consultations now being stepped up should also take into account the interests and positions of the countries of the region. In the context of 17 efforts now under way to find the most appropriate means of putting an end to the situation in Gorazde and throughout Bosnia and Herzegovina, one recalls, quite naturally, the issue of the sanctions regime implemented against the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro), because this approach amounts to an important tool in the United Nations arsenal for promoting a settlement of the conflict in former Yugoslavia.”

20. “The least one could say is that it would be a fatal error to remain indifferent in the face of the high stakes in Bosnia and Herzegovina, where, basically, mythical, aggressive and obscurantist nationalism is pitted against the spirit of openness, tolerance and human solidarity. We call for an immediate cessation of hostilities in Gorazde and throughout the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina because, without question, our top priority must be to stop the bloodshed. At the same time, a cease-fire arrangement must not prejudge the parameters for a final political settlement; nor must it freeze in place situations born of violence, in spite of the decisions taken by the international community and the injunctions of authorities and personalities participating in the talks on the crisis in the former Yugoslavia.”

21. “In this context we note with satisfaction that the draft resolution before the council leaves no doubt as to which side bears the responsibility for what has come to pass in the Gorazde region. We note also that the Gorazde phenomenon is far from being an isolated or unusual one. We cannot but see that the history of the conflict in Bosnia and Herzegovina is replete with identical or similar events, with scenes that have become all too familiar in various parts of that Republic throughout the crisis. We consider most positive the draft resolution's reaffirmation of the Security Council's responsibility with regard to the sovereignty, territorial integrity and political independence of Bosnia and Herzegovina and its noting that the situation there is a threat to international peace and security.”

22. “We therefore welcome the letter which the Secretary-General recently sent to the Secretary- General of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) with a view to finding a way to end the situation that has developed within and around the city of Gorazde. We should like to make it clear that when the cannons are silenced and the difficult work of implementing settlement agreements is begun, those who provoked such situations, who ordered or committed atrocities and acts that run counter to all the civilized international norms of behaviour, will have to be held individually accountable for their actions, actions which have caused - and continue to cause - immeasurable harm to relations between States, nations, communities, individuals and, I might add, to the building of Europe.”

23. “In this United Nations safe area we have faced many challenges which, if they were to go unanswered, would be likely to plunge the United Nations and the other international organizations concerned into paralysis, inconsistency and ignominy. In an affront to the entire international community, the Bosnian Serb forces are continuing to attack Gorazde relentlessly, preventing the personnel of the United Nations Protection Force (UNPROFOR) from fulfilling their mandate under the relevant Security Council resolutions, continuing blindly to pound civilian targets, seizing UNPROFOR soldiers as hostages and aiming at them deliberately and fatally wounding them. They also fire upon aircraft carrying out the United Nations mandate and have even shot one down. There is no explanation or any possible justification for these acts of madness.”

24. “We therefore run the risk of resigning ourselves to this spectacle of aggression, massacre, "ethnic cleansing", concentration camps, merciless sieges of towns and villages, atrocities committed against civilian populations, the exodus of refugees and the destruction of a priceless cultural and religious heritage. We are also at risk of accepting as inevitable what is in effect an antibody that has set about destroying human society from within, the devastating impact of which could have been forestalled if the international community, the regional institutions and individual Governments had managed to act in time with the necessary determination and commitment. The very latest convulsion in this explosive chain of events is the situation in Gorazde, which defies all rational analysis.”

25. “Mr. Erdes (Hungary) (interpretation from French): The trap awaiting the international community in the debate on the former Yugoslavia is in the sense of the banality of evil, a sense which is liable to take root in our hearts and minds and inure us to the tragic panorama before us in several parts of the former federation, particularly in Bosnia and Herzegovina. One wonders whether our collective conscience is still able to register and absorb the succession of horrors that relentlessly ravage this land of many ethnicities, many cultures and many faiths.”

27. “The Ministers, further, undertook to strengthen CSCE efforts to stabilize the situation in the country. These efforts cover a number of areas, including human rights and assistance for the development in Georgia of legal and democratic institutions and processes; they can be an invaluable contribution to solving outstanding problems. In this undertaking, the enhancement and strengthening of cooperation between the United Nations and the CSCE in Georgia could bring us closer to a settlement of the conflict and increase the effectiveness of efforts to that end.”

28. “We note with satisfaction the conclusions drawn by the Secretary-General from an analysis of present developments, according to which encouraging progress towards lasting peace in the region has been achieved, as well as the decision to hold a new round of negotiations next month. Hungary attaches great importance to the activities in Georgia of the Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe (CSCE), which are based on decisions taken at the recent ministerial meeting of the CSCE in Rome. On the situation in Georgia, the Ministers of the CSCE countries stressed that the territorial integrity and sovereignty of the Republic of Georgia must be safeguarded. That is fully in line with the position the Security Council adopted on this subject in resolution 876 (1993) of 19 October.”

29. “Mr. ERDOS (Hungary) (interpretation from French): By voting in favour of resolution 892 (1993), Hungary has reaffirmed its commitment to a political solution of the conflict in Abkhazia, Republic of Georgia. We welcome the readiness of both the Georgian and the Abkhazian parties to engage in negotiations for a comprehensive political settlement of the crisis. In our view, the expansion of the international presence in the conflict zone, requested by the parties and authorized by today's resolution, can only help stabilize the situation and create conditions favourable to negotiations.”

30. “Resolution 890 (1993) clearly states the limits to the tolerance the Council is offering the parties. The Angolan parties bear a heavy responsibility to their people to continue the talks, and it is primarily up to them to make them succeed, to restore peace and to put the country back onto the democratic path laid out for it in last year's elections. We believe that the extension of the mandate of UNAVEM II for an additional three months should be sufficient for the successful conclusion of the ongoing negotiations and should induce the parties to take concrete and practical steps to put an end to the tragedy of the Angolan people.”

31. “While welcoming those results, we must remain aware of the road we must still travel before a settlement can be reached, a process in which the establishment of an effective cease-fire is only the first step. UNITA's unreserved acceptance of the results of the 1992 democratic elections and its compliance with the relevant resolutions of the Security Council are also integral parts of the process of reconciliation and peace in Angola. In the light of the bitter experience of earlier phases of the Angolan crisis, we must also face the fact that the present situation is still delicate. The Security Council must therefore remain vigilant in order to promote positive developments. It is equally important that no one regard as indefinite the lack of action initially envisaged by the Council.”

32. “However, the Lusaka negotiations appear to be promoting not only political dialogue between the parties but also certain measures by both sides that could reduce the hostilities. We believe that in those circumstances the Security Council has acted wisely in giving the parties more time to agree, through direct negotiations, ona peaceful settlement of the Angolan conflict, in keeping with the "Acordos de Paz" and the relevant resolutions of the Council. The resolution we have just adopted makes it clear that the international community is prepared to strengthen the presence of the United Nations Angola Verification Mission (UNAVEM II) if Significant progress is made in the peace process.”

We wish to thank you, Sir, and all the members of the Security Council, for the condolences you have conveyed to us on the passing of the Hungarian Prime Minister.
