“Ahtisaari, Special Envoy of the Secretary-General, to define a status that will promote development and progress for all the people of Kosovo and strengthen stability in the region as a whole.”

“Likewise, according to the figures provided by the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, while the number of 06-6573] minorities returning to Kosovo has remained constant, it is still unsatisfactory. The definition of Kosovo's future status must be inclusive and not exclude any of the sectors that make up society. In other words, the building of a multi- ethnic society requires active participation by all sectors involved. Without such a consensus, it will not be possible to find a lasting solution, over and above the legal identity this territory might adopt. Once again, Peru wishes to express its support for the political process aimed at finding a negotiated solution to Kosovo's status. In that context, we support the work carried out by Mr.”

“The process related to future status is a dominant factor in political life, as stated by Mr. Riicker. The feeling of uncertainty helps to create instability. The parties continue to express opposing positions that leave little room for negotiation. That situation does not help to create an appropriate context for reconciling all social sectors and improving the conditions for reaching a final settlement. The Secretary-General indicated in his report that incidents of violence involving Kosovo Serbs have continued. It is also worrisome that Serb participation in the main political institutions continues to be practically non-existent.”

“I am referring in particular to the progress made in developing mining and the power generation associated with it, in addition to the rehabilitation of a number of power generation facilities. The international investors' conference for Kosovo, held on 10 and 11 October, was also an important step in attracting foreign investment. As my delegations has stated on a number of occasions, any political settlement that determines Kosovo's status will be viable only if long-term socio- economic stability is achieved. In that connection, we urge Kosovo's economic actors to continue in the effort to get its productive sectors working and to ensure Kosovo's effective integration into its regional environment. Furthermore, it cannot be denied that there are still barriers in Kosovo that are difficult to overcome.”

“On behalf of my delegation, I wish to highlight some positive developments that have occurred on the ground. Despite the difficulties that are still perceived, those developments should be encouraged so as to provide constructive support for the Kosovo process. First, the effort made in 2006 by the Government of Kosovo to implement the standards - particularly the 13 priorities identified by the Contact Group - has been commendable. As the Secretary-General's report indicates, the progress made in standards implementation strengthens Kosovo's institutions and helps lay the groundwork for future development. It is also relevant that, in this most recent period, some significant events have taken place in the economic sphere.”

“Mr. Orozco (Peru) (spoke in Spanish): At the outset, like previous speakers, I wish to thank Mr. Joachim Rucker, Special Representative of the Secretary-General, for presenting the report on the work of the United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK) between 15 August and 31 October 2006. I also thank Ms. Sanda Raskovic- Ivic, President of the Coordinating Centre of the Republic of Serbia for Kosovo and Metohija, for her presentation. In addition, I welcome the presence of Mr. Agim Ceku, Prime Minister of the Provisional Institutions of Self-Government of Kosovo. The report of the Secretary-General (S/2006/906), which objectively describes the developments in the Kosovo process during the period I have indicated, presents us with important elements for consideration in the definition of Kosovo's status.”
