“Let me conclude by saying that Poland regards Kosovo as being fully capable of managing its own future and exploiting its potential within the shared framework of European values. I now resume my functions as President of the Council. Mr. Daeic' has asked for the floor to make a further statement. I now give him the floor.”

“We stress the need for the Kosovo authorities to respect their obligations to support the work of the Specialist Chambers. We trust that they will continue to do so. We also note Kosovo's efforts to bring the justice system up to international and European Union standards. The law on courts and the law on the disciplinary responsibilities of judges and prosecutors, which were recently adopted, are important steps in that direction. The support in the area of the rule of law delivered in recent years by the European Union Rule of Law Mission in Kosovo was of the utmost importance. Thirdly, and finally, let me welcome the ratification of the demarcation agreement with Montenegro. It is a crucial step towards visa liberalization with the European Union and towards further stabilization of the region.”

“Twenty years have passed since the Mission's establishment and, in our view, it is time to reassess its relevance. Poland has recognized Kosovo as an independent State and we have confidence in Kosovo's ability to resolve its problems. I will now briefly focus on three points. First, I would like to stress the importance of the continuation of the European Union-facilitated dialogue between Belgrade and Pristina, which should lead to a legally binding agreement on a comprehensive normalization of relations. Moreover, I would like to highlight that the decisions already made within the dialogue should be swiftly implemented. That is a prerequisite for both countries on their path to European integration. The second point that I would like to make is on the importance of the rule of law.”

“I shall now make a statement in my capacity as the representative of Poland. At the outset, let me thank Special Representative Zahir Tanin for his briefing. I would also like to thank Deputy Prime Minister Dacie and Ambassador Citaku for their statements before the Security Council. I would like to join my European colleagues in saying that we believe that the situation in Kosovo allows for a substantial reduction of the current reporting cycle. We furthermore believe that the Security Council must refocus the efforts of the United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK) so that the means deployed by the United Nations are tailored fully to the situation on the ground. In that light, Poland also reiterates the need for a strategic review of UNMIK.”
