  1. “We once more call upon the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia authorities to comply with their international obligations, enshrined in the Vienna Convention.”

  2. “Therefore, if this is feasible, we would recommend that UNMIK and KFOR assist those Serbs by facilitating their voting in Serbia. The Netherlands is concerned at persistent reports about activities by Kosovar extremists in the Presevo valley. We appreciate the further information provided by Mr. Annabi, and hope that this remains a matter of concern. Finally, we wish to associate ourselves fully with the observations made by the representative of the United Kingdom about the unacceptable behaviour by the authorities of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia with respect to the treatment of the detainees from the United Kingdom, Canada and the Netherlands, in particular with regard to consular access, private legal counselling, and independent health examinations.”

  3. “My delegation also welcomes the recent steps by KFOR and UNMIK to take control of the Zvecan lead smelting factory, a major source of lead pollution and therefore a major health hazard. UNMIK already bore formal responsibility for the Trepca complex; it has now taken de facto responsibility. We welcome this development and appreciate UNMIK's comprehensive approach to this matter, as described by Mr. Annabi this morning. As to the elections to be held in the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia on 24 September, we fully understand that UNMIK will not be able to take responsibility for the organization of those elections in Kosovo. However, on the basis of Security Council resolution 1244 (1999), Kosovo Serbs who wish to cast their votes in the elections for the Federal parliament and in the presidential elections should be able to do so.”

  4. “All these attacks are a matter of grave concern to my country: the cowardly grenade attack on Serbian children at play, which left nine of them injured; the bombing of the Political Parties Services Centre of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) in Pristina, which clearly targeted not only the office itself but also the democratization process as such; and the recent spate of attacks on moderate Kosovars, especially officials of the Democratic League of Kosovo. Here, KFOR and UNMIK face the task of preventing the violence that would result in the marginalization of political moderates. My delegation is aware that this calls for a balancing act by KFOR and UNMIK, as polarization between the forces of the international community and the Kosovar population is to be avoided as well.”

  5. “Mr. Kouchner to set the date for elections: 28 October. We very much hope that the elections will result in a multi-party system. The Netherlands will contribute to monitoring them by providing two long-term and approximately 30 short-term observers. The Netherlands condemns the new surge of politically motivated violence in Kosovo. The recent attacks seem to aim at destabilizing Kosovo in the period preceding the elections.”
