16. “In our judgement, the plan of activities aimed at preventing a spillover of the conflict, as presented today by the Foreign Minister of the Republic of Macedonia, makes a lot of sense and deserves our support. Fifthly, we welcome NATO's commitment to support the security, stability and territorial integrity of that country, as was stated by the Secretary-General of NATO on 2 March 2001. We also welcome steps already taken to assist the Macedonian Government in protecting its frontiers. We applaud the measures currently being put in place by NATO to reinforce existing KFOR capabilities to monitor the border between the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia at its Kosovo section and the Republic of Macedonia, as well as the announcement by the European Union about the increase in the number of its monitors in the area.”

17. “We are encouraged by the ongoing dialogue between the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and the Yugoslav Government on the problems in southern Serbia. We support NATO's intention to carry out a reduction in the size of the ground safety zone as a good step forward. In our view, swift implementation of the plan by the Yugoslav Government, aimed at achieving a political solution to the existing problems in southern Serbia through confidence-building measures, will contribute to significantly curbing the current dangerous developments in the Republic of Macedonia as well. Fourthly, Ukraine commends the Macedonian Government for its measured response to the situation so far and for its inclination to seek a solution through political means.”

18. “Thirdly, the armed clashes between the Albanian fighters and the Macedonian troops that broke out on the border between the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia at its Kosovo section and the Republic of Macedonia should be seen as a direct consequence of the critical situation in southern Serbia. It is therefore obvious to us that remedying the situation on the border between the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and the Republic of Macedonia will be impossible without finding a viable solution to the problem of restoring proper security conditions in the ground safety zone. In our view, further enhancement of cooperation between the United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK) and the Kosovo Force (KFOR), on the one hand, and the Yugoslav Government, on the other, remains indispensable.”

In addition to that statement, I would like to put on record a few more points. First, we strongly condemn attacks against the Macedonian soldiers and deplore the violent deaths of three of them a few days ago. Secondly, we reaffirm our full support for respect for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Republic of Macedonia.”
