Kosovo-Metohija needs political solution
Belgrade,
3 May 2004
Serbian Prime Minister Vojislav Kostunica said at a summit of European centre-right prime ministers and leaders of the European People’s Party (EPP), held in Dublin on May 1, that Kosovo-Metohija needs a peaceful political solution, within the framework of the United Nations Security Council Resolution 1244, which is of great importance for Serbia, the Balkans and Europe.
Kostunica spoke at the summit about institutional problems Serbia and the state union of Serbia-Montenegro are faced with in the processes of strengthening of institutions and establishment of the law-abiding state and independent judiciary, as well as in the fight against corruption.
During his visit to Dublin, Kostunica met with Greek Prime Minister Kostas Karamanlis, Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi and former Hungarian Prime Minister Victor Orban.
In a separate meeting with Prime Minister of Croatia Ivo Sanader, Kostunica stressed the need for further normalisation of relations and improvement of cooperation between the two countries. He welcomed European Commission's positive evaluation of Croatia's EU candidacy, saying that Croatia has made the crucial step towards the European Union, which will be important for all other countries in the region that are not EU members.
Participants in the summit agreed that Europe changed already in the first phase, after the 1989 fall of the Berlin wall, as well as in the second, when it welcomed new EU member states. Kostunica said that the third phase will be when Europe becomes complete, embracing all European countries. On that occasion, he reiterated the Serbian government's firm commitment to European integrations, the Tanjug news agency reported.
