1. “We take special note of the high level of women and youth participation in the elections, which saw an increased proportion of women deputies, surpassing the established 30 per cent threshold, as well as the election by Parliament of Ms. Vjosa Osmani-Sadriu as President. Kenya supports the European Union-facilitated dialogue, between Belgrade and Pristina. As noted in the Secretary-General’s report (S/2021/332), lasting peace, stability and socioeconomic development in Kosovo and the region are contingent on sustainable progress in the dialogue. We are therefore encouraged by the statements issued by both parties on the importance of advancing the dialogue and urge them to explore all peaceful avenues for its resumption.”

2. “Indeed, the deliberate inclusion of women and youth in all aspects of the dialogue is critical to the attainment of sustainable development, peace and security. Kenya appreciates the efforts of UNMIK, the United Nations Kosovo team and the United Nations agencies, funds and programmes aimed at containing and responding to the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic in Kosovo. We particularly commend the work being done in promoting public education, empowering women and youth to participate in preventive action and in providing assistance to vulnerable communities across Kosovo. We urge the international community to continue supporting these efforts, including by ensuring vaccine availability for all. Kenya commends the successful February parliamentary elections in Kosovo despite the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic.”

3. “Kenya’s delegation thanks Special Representative of the Secretary-General Zahir Tanin for his briefing on the work of the United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK). Kenya commends UNMIK for the important role it continues to play in promoting security, stability and respect for human rights in Kosovo. We welcome its continued constructive engagement with Pristina and Belgrade as well as its multiple approaches to engaging communities, including through capacity-building programmes, conferences, round tables, workshops and other forums. We further commend its support for the participation of women and young people in decision-making processes and cross-community dialogue.”
