  3. “Then we can look towards close regional cooperation between former foes and towards the common integration of these truly European countries into the Euro-Atlantic institutions where they so rightfully belong. I urge the Secretary-General to start our journey down that road now and to take the first step today. I now resume my functions as President of the Security Council. The next speaker on my list is the representative of Luxembourg, whom I invite to take a seat at the Council table and to make his statement.”

  4. “We should not prejudge the outcome of the status talks, but obviously we will not see a return to the pre-March 1999 situation. Just as a reintegration of Kosovo into Serbia or a territorial division of Kosovo can be excluded, so can a union of Kosovo with another country, or a solution dictated unilaterally by one of the parties. One of the most dreadful decades of Balkan history ended five years ago. We should now put it behind us. The time has come to start an inclusive and regionally-based process with a view to solving one of the last outstanding issues following from the violent conflicts of the former Yugoslavia. Once an agreement on Kosovo's final status has been found, we can look forward to a more peaceful and prosperous future that the peoples of South-Eastern Europe deserve.”

  5. “We hope, and we are optimistic, that the comprehensive review will lead to a decision to start a negotiation process in the autumn that will determine Kosovo's final status. It should be stated clearly that there is no automaticity for the start of such talks. The outcome of the review will be decisive in that regard. But we also feel strongly that the time has come to move on. Kosovo's unresolved status is in nobody's interest. It creates political insecurity, discourages returns, feeds extremist designs, scares off foreign direct investment and maintains the inhabitants of Kosovo, irrespective of ethnicity, in the grip of massive unemployment and economic misery. It is simply not sustainable. I share the view expressed by many today that there will be no going back to the status quo ante.”

  6. “But in the light of the progress, the assessment of the Danish Government is that it is now possible and recommendable to move on to the next phase, to a comprehensive review this summer, in accordance with resolution 1244 (1999) and relevant presidential statements of the Security Council. I am happy to see the Secretary-General reach the same conclusion in his report. I fully share his analysis that we have seen intensified efforts to implement standards, which reflect the recognizable political maturity and commitment of the Kosovo leaders. I urge the Secretary-General to move ahead now as he suggests. My Government will do its utmost to support him and the Special Envoy he will name in their efforts in this next and crucial phase.”

  7. “In a number of key areas, not least with regard to decentralization, returns and the direct dialogue with Belgrade, much more needs to be done, and quickly. We also need to see progress with regard to Kosovo Serb participation in the political process. Belgrade should soon come forward with a clear signal in that regard. Standards implementation and the commitment to securing a multi-ethnic, democratic Kosovo will also be a long-term requirement for Kosovo's integration into the European Union. In general, however, we have seen tangible progress in the reporting period. More important, we have seen a clear demonstration of political will and capacity to maintain momentum in the continued standards process. We acknowledge that major shortcomings still exist which need to be addressed.”

  8. “Their continued presence and professionalism will be needed for some time to come. I would also like to thank Mr. Covic for his statement and for his presence here today. The representative of Luxembourg will shortly make a statement on behalf of the European Union, and Denmark fully associates itself with that statement. I should like to tell members that last week I visited Belgrade and Pristina and had the opportunity to discuss the situation in Kosovo in general, and, specifically, standards implementation, with the central players on the ground. I made the point, which has also been made so clearly by most speakers today, that we are not there yet. Standards implementation must not slow down and will have to continue for a long time yet.”

  9. “I shall now make a statement in my capacity as Minister for Foreign Affairs of Denmark. Like others, I should like to thank the Secretary- General for his report (S/2005/335) and the Special Representative of the Secretary-General and Head of the United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK), Mr. Soren Jessen-Petersen, for his briefing, which I particularly appreciated for its fine balance, discerning detail and forward-looking thrust. I have full respect and admiration for the impressive results achieved by Mr. Jessen-Petersen and his staff during his tenure. I also commend the Kosovo Force (KFOR), the UNMIK police and the Kosovo Police Service for having shown great skill and professionalism in maintaining a secure and stable environment through a challenging period.”

The Council encourages capacity-building in order to respond to the country-specific circumstances of each conflict situation. One goal of this capacity-building - and of peacebuilding generally - should be to promote the establishment of self-supporting national authorities and thus the evolution of international assistance from peace support to longer-term development.”
