Ahtisaari’s proposal on Kosovo future status illegal, illegitimate
Belgrade,
21 March 2007
Serbian Prime Minister Vojislav Kostunica met today with a delegation of the Socialist International (SI), led by SI President Yorgo Papandreou and said that there is not a single condition for UN Special Envoy Martti Ahtisaari’s proposal on Kosovo-Metohija’s future status to be even considered by the UN Security Council since it is an illegal and illegitimate proposal which breaches the UN Charter and the Serbian Constitution.
Kostunica stressed the necessity of resuming the negotiating process, which Ahtisaari stopped, and of establishing the talks on Resolution 1244 in order to find a compromise and sustainable solution for the province within Serbia.
The Serbian Prime Minister particularly warned that threats of ethnic Albanian separatists in which they say they will resort to violence if the province is not granted independence must not be tolerated.
The international community must react immediately to these terror threats and send a clear message that every terrorist instead of being rewarded will be punished most severely, Kostunica said.
He also warned that responsibility for the violence cannot be transferred to victims and that such announcements and attempts represent the culmination of unacceptable policy of blackmail and threats.
The SI delegation said that the solution to the future status of Kosovo-Metohija must be sustainable and respectful of both sides and that it is particularly important to pay attention to stability and peace in the region.
The SI delegation also comprised Bulgarian Prime Minister and SI co-president Sergei Stanishev, President of the Social Democratic Party of Romania and co-president of the SI for Southeast Europe Mircea Geoana and Secretary General of the SI Luis Ayala.
