“Lastly, we commend UNMIK's excellent work on the ground and the support it provides to all communities in Kosovo, as well as to regional and international actors, in fulfilling the mandates set out in resolution 1244 (1999), which is the legal basis for a just solution to Kosovo. We therefore encourage them to pursue their constructive engagement with Pristina and Belgrade in order to pave the way for a solution to the Kosovo issue. I now resume my functions as President of the Council. There are no more names inscribed on the list of speakers. The meeting rose at 5.40 pm.”

“In the same vein, we share the Secretary- General's remarks that, now more than ever, the leaders of Belgrade and Pristina should avoid any action that could further increase tensions and seek to re-engage and work to advance the dialogue facilitated by the European Union. In that regard, we encourage them to step up their efforts in the quest for a political, inclusive and peaceful solution to the Kosovo issue. The Republic of Equatorial Guinea reaffirms its respect for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Republic of Serbia. We therefore urge the parties to pursue the dialogue to promote the normalization of relations, since ensuring security and stability in Kosovo requires the commitment of both parties to continuing political dialogue in the quest for a lasting solution that is acceptable to all parties.”

“Actions, such as the decision taken by the Kosovo Government to raise the import tax on goods from Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina to 100 per cent; the decision of the mayors of the four Kosovo Serb- majority municipalities to resign and cease official communication with the authorities in Pristina; and a series of intercommunity incidents clearly require the Security Council's attention and commitment to working with Belgrade and Pristina in the process to normalize relations. We therefore welcome the fact that the members of the Security Council are ready to address the latest developments outlined in the Secretary-General's report.”

“We believe that today's meeting has afforded the members of the Security Council the opportunity to play a constructive role in improving the situation on the ground, and that it will serve to encourage both parties to demonstrate their full commitment to reaching an agreement on the Kosovo issue. In line with that position, we take note of the report submitted by the Secretary-General (S/2019/102) and are particularly concerned about the tensions that arose between Belgrade and Pristina in the reporting period.”
