1. “We urge them to do all the more to bring peace and stability to the affected territories. The restraint shown by the Governments of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia is commendable, and it should continue. It is not in anyone's interest that the violence escalate. The solution to an armed extremist problem is a political one, not a military one. We therefore call on the Governments of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia to continue to pursue a peaceful political solution to the problems confronting them. Key to this are dialogue with the respective ethnic Albanian leaders and the implementation of confidence-building measures in southern Serbia and the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia. With respect to Kosovo, we would appreciate Mr.”

2. “The overall goal must remain the return of Kosovo to normalcy. This would benefit not only Kosovo, but the region as a whole. Unfortunately, violence has reared its ugly head again in and around Kosovo, and in many forms: attacks against ethnic minorities and politically motivated violence in Kosovo, as well as violent acts by ethnic Albanian armed groups in southern Serbia and the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia. We welcome the ceasefire that has gone into effect in southern Serbia, and we hope that all acts of violence will come to an end. In this regard, we welcome the plans made and actions taken by UNMIK and the Kosovo Force (KFOR) and the Governments of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, as well as other relevant parties, to put a stop to the violence.”

3. “My delegation would like to welcome the Special Representative of the Secretary-General, Mr. Hans Haekkerup, to the Security Council, and to thank him for his very first briefing to the Council. It was both informative and useful. Mr. Haekkerup has taken on a very difficult undertaking. He must be commended for the good work he has done in the first two months in his post. He has set the right priorities for the United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK), for which he needs the backing of the United Nations and the international community. He can count on Singapore's support for his and UNMIK's efforts to fully implement resolution 1244 (1999) in difficult circumstances. Kosovo's political status is clear in Security Council resolution 1244 (1999), and all involved in charting Kosovo's future should move on.”
