As the mandate of the United Nations Mission of Observers in Tajikistan (UNMOT) comes to an end, we would like to pay special tribute to the successive Special Representatives of the Secretary-General for their contributions. We salute UNMOT for the important role it has played in promoting national reconciliation in Tajikistan, especially those who gave their lives for the cause of peace in Tajikistan.

3. “I will now make a statement in my capacity as the representative of China. The Chinese delegation thanks the Secretary-General for his report on the situation in Tajikistan. Our thanks also go to the Special Representative of the Secretary-General, Mr. Petrov, for his briefing. At the outset I would like to express my congratulations for the success achieved in the peace process in Tajikistan and by the United Nations peacekeeping operation in that country. This success shows that the practical implementation of the peace agreement and the success of the United Nations peacekeeping operation have depended on the political will of the Tajik Government and other parties concerned. They have also depended on the strong support of the international community.”

We have heard a wide range of views of United Nations Members, in particular of the African Members, on the situation in Sierra Leone.

23. “We support UNMIK's proposal to establish a Joint Committee so as to enhance the substantive cooperation between UNMIK and the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. The report indicates that ethnic reconciliation in Kosovo "is a long and protracted process, and the international community must be patient and persistent". However, the international community must not sit on its hands regarding any act detrimental to ethnic reconciliation. Any attempt to discriminate against other ethnic groups in Kosovo's public life or to push Kosovo towards independence is dangerous. It will give rise to new disturbances in the Balkans at large, which will ultimately victimize the peoples of all countries in this region. I now resume my functions as President of the Security Council. There are no further speakers on my list.”

24. “The Albanian flag has been flying beside the United Nations flag at the UNMIK compound in Kosovo. Some foreign guests have visited Kosovo without notice to the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, and some countries, without prior consultation with the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, have sent diplomatic representatives to Kosovo, and so on. All this has given the local people the wrong impression that Kosovo is on its way to independence. Security Council resolution 1244 (1999) reaffirms the commitment of all Member States to the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. The presence of the United Nations in Kosovo is by no means for the purpose of helping the locals gain independence. UNMIK should get this message across unequivocally to the local people. No error is admissible on this crucial policy.”

25. “To make this happen, necessary conditions still need to be created; otherwise, there is no way to guarantee the fairness of the elections. Elections in the absence of broad-based participation will only result in the intensification of ethnic conflicts. Finally, the Chinese delegation would like to stress that Security Council resolution 1244 (1999) must be fully implemented. UNMIK should respect the sovereignty and territorial integrity, as well as the laws, of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and seek its cooperation and participation. Some administrative measures adopted in Kosovo, however, have undermined the sovereignty of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. For example, identification documents have been issued in Kosovo without authorization by the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. Stamps have been issued, too.”

26. “The report observes: "It is unfortunate, however, that all factions of the Kosovo Serb community have chosen not to participate in this process, due to the current lack of physical security and freedom of movement." The Chinese delegation believes that this is a reality of the political life in Kosovo deserving of the full attention of the Security Council and UNMIK. In our View, careful planning and preparation must be made for the local elections in Kosovo. The security situation must be improved to ensure physical security and freedom of movement, so that the elections can be conducted in a free and peaceful atmosphere. The voter registration process must ensure broad representation, especially that of the minorities.”

27. “As the report rightly points out: "Efforts to promote cooperation and interface between ethnic communities at the local level, including the establishment of multi-ethnic municipal councils, administrative boards and rapid-impact employment projects, could foster peaceful coexistence." The realization of this objective depends on the normal return of people of all ethnic groups which, as I have said, is closely linked to the security situation. Thirdly, as to the upcoming municipal elections, the civil and voter registration has already begun in Kosovo.”

28. “Due to the absence of the sense of safety, and given the situation of the Serbs and other minorities, there still exist enormous difficulties in the way of the return of internally displaced persons and refugees from third countries, although UNMIK has emphasized it as a priority. In Pristina, where 40,000 Serbs and Montenegrins once lived, there are now fewer than 100 Serbs. This is indeed a very grave situation. Secondly, since Serbs and people of other minority groups are not able to return normally to their homes in Kosovo, it is impossible for them to integrate into the society. Without this integration, the strengthening of the multi-ethnic interim administration is out of the question.”

29. “We appreciate their dedication and hard work. According to the report, and according to resolution 1244 (1999), "The full and effective implementation of the Security Council's mandate requires the sustained effort by UNMIK and KFOR". Here, the Chinese delegation wishes to comment on a number of questions relevant to the report and the situation in Kosovo. First, the security situation in Kosovo is still very worrying, especially the physical security situation of Serbs and other minorities. According to some reports, since last June more than 200,000 Serbs and people of other minorities have fled the area and more than 4,000 incidents of violence have taken place. While some of these incidents were anti-Albanian, most were against Serbs and other minorities.”

30. “Under the outstanding leadership of Ambassador Chowdhury, the mission has carried out intense, diligent and effective work. It has, among other things, obtained firsthand information through on-site investigations and submitted the report in a most expeditious manner. We would like to pay tribute to Ambassador Chowdhury and other members of the Council mission for their efforts in this regard. The Kosovo Force (KFOR) and the United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK) have been deployed in Kosovo for almost a year. It is highly necessary that the situation in Kosovo be reviewed comprehensively. As the report points out, Mr. Bernard Kouchner, Special Representative of the Secretary- General, UNMIK and KFOR have made great efforts under difficult circumstances to implement their mandates.”

31. “I shall now make a statement in my capacity as the representative of China. I have noticed that, in their statements, some representatives expressed regret at the fact that certain countries concerned cannot speak in our debate. I share that regret. Among those countries that cannot speak here is the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. As the country with sovereignty over Kosovo, the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia is a party concerned in the question under our consideration today. The fact that some countries, including the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, cannot speak in our debate represents an abnormal situation that I hope can be rectified in the future. The Chinese delegation thanks the Security Council mission to Kosovo, Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, for its report.”
