Solution for Kosovo-Metohija through new negotiation process
Belgrade,
15 March 2007
Serbian Prime Minister Vojislav Kostunica said today that the proposal by UN Special Envoy Marti Ahtisaari regarding the status of Kosovo-Metohija does not fulfill a single condition for debate in the UN Security Council and added that the solution lies in opening a new negotiation process.

In a statement to the news agency Tanjug, Kostunica said that Ahtisaari’s proposal does not even fulfill formal conditions, because it is obviously not a compromise solution, rather Ahtisaari has decided to take sides with ethnic-Albanians, and has drafted a one-sided proposal.
He said that in doing so Ahtisaari has violated the foremost principle of the Contact Group, which recommended a solution based on compromise and agreement.
It is important to stress that Ahtisaari’s proposal in essence does not fulfill the conditions for appearing before the Security Council, keeping in view the fact that this proposal grossly violates the UN Charter and the fundamental principles of the violability of borders and respect of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of internationally recognised states, stressed Kostunica.
The Serbian Prime Minister said that due to that Ahtisaari’s proposal was rejected as illegal and illegitimate.
We are convinced that the Security Council cannot support a proposal which is directly opposed to the UN Charter, stressed Kostunica.
He said that Serbia sees the solution in beginning a new process of real and actual negotiations, which would lead to an agreement, in accordance with international law and the Constitution of Serbia.
