Having demonstrated that it is an illegal and illegitimate proposal aimed at seizing 15% of Serbia’s territory, which directly breaches the UN Charter, it is only natural that a considerable majority at the UN Security Council should acknowledge Serbia’s stance and refuse to support Ahtisaari. The simple truth is that Ahtisaari’s proposal failed to be endorsed by the Security Council, stressed Kostunica.
He also said that Serbia must now turn to a new negotiating process with a new international mediator.
Kostunica praised Russia’s proposal that the UN Security Council set up a mission which will come to Serbia and see for itself the actual degree to which standards, defined by Resolution 1244, have been implemented in the province.
This may provide a good basis for a new negotiating process which would this time take its course within the clear framework of UN Security Council Resolution 1244 and finally enable that a compromise and just solution be reached, the Serbian Prime Minister said.
