  1. It is key to stability and to social and economic development, both in Kosovo and in the entire region, that the status process concludes satisfactorily, with an outcome that is acceptable to the majority and at the same time respects and protects the rights of minorities. We call on the leaders of both parties, who have a historic opportunity in their hands, to demonstrate the vision and the political will to achieve a settlement that will enable Kosovo to enter a new phase of its history and will enable the international community to continue to support a sustainable solution for the Kosovo issue in full respect for the principle of territorial integrity. 06-6573]

  2. This, in our view, is the basis for any sustainable agreement and we believe that it should be a priority for the international community. Any solution must contribute to regional stability, with a realistic, viable, sustainable agreement that is in full compliance with Security Council resolution 1244 (1999). It must also be based on and consistent with the Guiding Principles for the settlement of Kosovo's status, formulated by the Contact Group and endorsed by the Security Council - in particular, full respect for the territorial integrity and internal stability of regional neighbours. Argentina considers that there can be no prosperous and peaceful future for Kosovo without complete respect for the diversity of its people.

  3. All groups that compose Kosovo's society must display wisdom at this critical moment for the future of Kosovo, and their leaders must seize this opportunity to promote reconciliation and dialogue. Mr. Riicker has indicated that the political situation in Kosovo is dominated by the future status process. It is undeniable that there are differing expectations regarding the outcome, but we believe that it is necessary to maintain the momentum in the process under way, because uncertainty could result in greater instability. On the contrary, the primary aim of this process should be to ensure that all those who live in Kosovo can have a safe, decent, peaceful and dignified life. To achieve this, it is essential that any agreed approach be based on negotiations between the parties, and not something imposed internationally.

  4. However, it is disappointing that the positive effects of implementation do not fully benefit the Kosovo Serb community, due primarily to their own reluctance to cooperate with the Pristina authorities. We urge the Kosovo Serb community to act with the maturity necessary to assume their responsibilities in a truly multi-ethnic society. The leaders of the Serb National Council must end their boycott of contacts with the Provisional Institutions, while Belgrade must remove without delay all impediments to such participation. For their part, the leaders of the Provisional Institutions must persist vigorously with standards implementation if they are to accomplish the aim of 06-6573] laying the foundation of a multi-ethnic and democratic society in which all communities live in dignity and security.

  5. Argentina has been participating in UNMIK with police, military and diplomatic personnel since the very beginning of the Mission, and we will continue to support its work in its upcoming phases as well. The report gives an account, once again, of sustained progress on standards implementation, with special emphasis on the 13 priorities identified by the Contact Group last June. We would like to underline the willingness of the Provisional Institutions to implement the standards programme. Without any doubt, this contributes to strengthening the Kosovo Institutions. Standards implementation is also a sine qua non condition for making Kosovo's European perspective a reality, and it must continue to be the core of the efforts throughout the future status process for Kosovo, and even beyond.

  6. Mrs. Martinez Gramuglia (Argentina) (spoke in Spanish): We thank the Special Representative of the Secretary-General, Mr. Joachim Rucker, for his briefing and his comments on the latest developments in Kosovo. We welcome the President of the Coordination Centre of the Republic of Serbia for Kosovo and Metohija, Ms. Sanda Raskovic-Ivic. We also welcome Prime Minister Ceku as part of the delegation of the United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK). Let me also echo the gratitude expressed in the report of the Secretary-General (S/2006/906) to the men and women of UNMIK for their steadfastness and their commitment to the values and principles of the Organization as they carry out their daily tasks.
