“As members of the Council know, after the declaration of independence, Kosovo welcomed and invited the European Union and NATO to perform functions in Kosovo. The establishment of the International Civilian Office to supervise the implementation of the Ahtisaari plan and the deployment of a European Union Rule of Law Mission (EULEX Kosovo) to help us in the police and justice sectors have been widely appreciated in Kosovo. Although there have been isolated violent challenges by certain illegal structures in the north of Kosovo, including attacks which resulted in the tragic death of a United Nations police officer, the overall situation has remained calm and orderly, and that has helped us make a smooth transition to the new status.”

“For example, plans for the establishment of protective zones around Serbian Orthodox sites and for the decentralization of local governance - namely, for the establishment of new Serb-majority municipalities - are already under way. Reconciliation among our communities is a standing priority of the Kosovo institutions. The President is in the process of establishing within his office a community consultative council, and the Prime Minister of Kosovo has already established a special office within his Cabinet for outreach to the minority ethnic communities. Reconciliation goals are being best served also by our multi-ethnic coalition Government. The Kosovo Government has two ministers from the Serb community and one from the Turkish community and a number of deputy ministers from minority communities.”

“That foundational document was prepared with the help of international experts and incorporates minority-rights protections from the Ahtisaari plan, and the people of Kosovo are very proud of it. Also on 15 June, over 40 pieces of legislation from the Ahtisaari Proposal entered into force. Those laws cover such crucial areas as the decentralization of local Government and the protection of minority rights and of cultural and religious heritage. Both the new constitution and the entry into force of those laws create basic prerequisites to implement the Ahtisaari plan in its entirety. Beyond just adopting legislation, the Government of the Republic of Kosovo has already embarked upon on-the-ground implementation of the Ahtisaari plan.”

“The donor community has generously pledged over â‚¬1.2 billion to support Kosovo's economic recovery and development. I take this opportunity to extend our deepest appreciation to all donor nations. Likewise, I wish to reiterate the firm commitment of the Government of Kosovo to full transparency and accountability as we work with our donor partners to implement various projects. In recent weeks, Kosovo has taken major steps towards becoming a more just and democratic State. The new democratic Constitution of the Republic of Kosovo, which entered into force on 15 June, is an excellent example of a modern constitution that reflects the highest international standards on human and minority rights.”

“So far, 43 States around the world, including most of the countries in our region of Europe, have recognized our independence. Many of them have generously offered us their support in building a stable, multiethnic and democratic State and society. We expect many other countries to recognize Kosovo as an independent State in the months ahead. We are aware that independence has not solved many problems my country faces. Kosovo still has significant work to do to repair its devastated economy, which was mismanaged for decades and systematically destroyed by the Milosevic regime. The youngest State in the world is in desperate need of investment from abroad and economic development. To that end, I am happy to report that the recent donor conference on Kosovo was a great success.”

“Mr. Hyseni: It is an honour to address the Security Council at this point in time, almost six months after Kosovo became an independent State. The Security Council has played an important role in every stage of post-war developments in Kosovo. It is therefore my pleasure to speak here today about the progress made in Kosovo after independence, especially in the wake of the entry into force of Kosovo's new Constitution on 15 June. As members of the Council know, we declared our independence in February in line with the provisions and recommendations of the Secretary- General's Special Envoy Marti Ahtisaari. The Comprehensive Proposal of President Ahtisaari has been endorsed by the Parliament of Kosovo and the Government has put together plans to implement it in its entirety.”
