1. “It is important that the views of the Kosovo Serb members of the Assembly be given due consideration. We encourage Special Representative Steiner in his efforts to address this and other issues within the Assembly. We know indeed that he is doing so. We are encouraged by the initial phase of preparation for the municipal elections, including the certification of a broad range of political parties. The level of participation in the certification process is a very encouraging sign - and a major improvement in comparison with the previous municipal elections held in 2000. We look forward to the full participation of all communities in those elections.”

2. “The Assembly should not allow itself to be distracted in the coming period from the very important range of areas for which it is responsible. There is, as Mr. Steiner has reiterated again this morning, a continuing need for urgent progress in the health and education sectors, progress which has been delayed as the Assembly strays into other responsibilities. Beyond further progress on the passage of legislation, there is a continued need for all political leaders to develop a substantive dialogue, both within and between the various communities. Political leaders will be unable to represent their constituencies effectively without real progress in this area. Such a political dialogue will also be a key aspect of preparation for the municipal elections, which have been scheduled now for 26 October.”

3. “We in this delegation are very grateful to Special Representative Steiner for his wide-ranging briefing this morning. We also thank Deputy Prime Minister Covic' for his statement. We appreciate the work that has gone into preparing the Secretary-General's report. Ireland fully supports the statement that will be delivered shortly by the representative of Denmark on behalf of the European Union. Ireland is encouraged by the increased focus of the provisional institutions of self-government on their assigned tasks in the most recent period. The passage of the Kosovo Assembly's first piece of legislation and preliminary work on further legislation is an especially important step in this regard. But we believe it should be seen as simply a first step.”
