Ahtisaari's proposal unacceptable and illegitimate for Serbia
Belgrade,
7 February 2007
Serbian Prime Minister Vojislav Kostunica said at today's meeting with British Minister of State for Europe Geoffrey Hoon that the proposal of UN Special Envoy Martti Ahtisaari on the final status of Kosovo-Metohija is unacceptable and illegitimate for Serbia.
Kostunica warned that Ahtisaari, instead of searching a solution for the administration of the province, opened the question of sovereignty and territorial integrity of Serbia without any authorisation.
The Serbian Prime Minister underlined that Ahtisaari with his proposal redraws Serbia's internationally recognised borders and that the final result of his proposal is to snatch away 15% of Serbia's territory.
Kostunica stressed that the international order is based on the principle of respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity of states, which is clearly guaranteed by the UN Charter.
He said that after recently held elections, the formation of state organs will follow, first of all of Serbian parliament, which will bring decisions on the continuation of negotiations and further steps concerning Kosovo-Metohija.
Hoon said that he expects Serbia to continue negotiations on Kosovo-Metohija in Vienna.
