Members of the Council also have before them document 8/2002/321, which contains the text of a draft resolution prepared in the course of the Council's prior consultations. In this connection, I would like to draw attention to an amendment to operative paragraph 15 of the draft resolution. The third line of operative paragraph 15 should read "stakeholders to continue to cooperate to this end to fulfil their commitments under the Abuja Ceasefire Agreement". It is my understanding that the Council is ready to proceed to the vote on the draft resolution before it, as orally revised in its provisional form.”

This will be an important measure of the Kosovo leaders' commitment to safeguarding the human rights of all inhabitants in Kosovo. International engagement will also continue to be required in order to facilitate minority returns. Norway emphasizes that the newly elected provisional Government of Kosovo must respect the border demarcation agreement of 23 February 2001. Elected representatives in the Kosovo Assembly, as well as provisional Government authorities, must strictly abide by Security Council resolution 1244 (1999) and the Constitutional Framework.

13. “The overall decline in violent crime and murder in Kosovo over the last year gives grounds for optimism, but not for complacency. The security situation for ethnic minorities continues to be of concern. The strengthening of law and order in Kosovo is necessary. This is not only a minority issue but a civic issue affecting all segments of Kosovo's population. Organized crime and illegal trafficking are of great concern, not only for Kosovo but for the region and Europe at large. Norway supports the initiative by Special Representative ofthe Secretary-General Steiner to confer greater powers on the UNMIK police to combat organized crime in Kosovo. We also support the Special Representative of the Secretary-General's veterans' amnesty programme and urge Kosovo leaders to work with UNMIK for its success.”

The involvement of Belgrade is important, and we encourage Mr. Covie to work with constructive Kosovo Serb leaders to achieve solutions that will be in the interests of all Kosovo Serbs. Norway welcomes the active and constructive role of Belgrade in recent months, which was demonstrated again yesterday by the release of Kosovar Albanian detainees from Serbian prisons. Cooperation between UNMIK and the Yugoslav authorities can, however, be further developed. The High-Ranking Working Group should be used as a mechanism for constructive dialogue between democratically elected leaders in Pristina and Belgrade.”

Norway appreciates the participation here today of Deputy Prime Minister Covie as a key actor in our work on Kosovo and as a prominent representative of the democratic leadership in Belgrade, with which my country has excellent relations. Like others, we welcome the election of a President and a provisional Government in Kosovo as a major step in the implementation of resolution 1244 (1999). For the Kosovo structures to function effectively, cooperation is needed involving elected representatives, the United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK) and Belgrade.”

Norway is deeply concerned about the humanitarian situation in Somalia, in particular in the Gedo and Bari regions. I would like in particular to draw attention to the urgent need for international assistance in covering food and water shortfalls, and to further underline the fact that longer-term intervention will be required to build sustainable solutions.”
