Serbian Minister of Public Administration and Local Self-Government Zoran Loncar said yesterday that the report of the UN Security Council fact-finding mission for Kosovo-Metohija will allow this UN body to see the real situation in the province.

Loncar told Beta news agency that this is also supported by the statement of South African Ambassador to the UN Dumisani Kumalo, who said after touring Kosovo as part of the UN mission group that the reality in Kosovo is different from the UN report which positively describes the situation in the province.
According to him, ambassadors saw with their own eyes how Serbs and other non-Albanians live in Kosovo and it is certain that they will rather trust what they saw than what is written in the report of UNMIK chief Joachim Ruecker and his predecessors.
Loncar also pointed out that the report of the mission should provide a principal response to the question whether UN SC Resolution 1244 is respected in the province and whether all standards required by this resolution are fulfilled.
Serbia expects that this report will be created attentively as it can be a good foundation for the onset of a new negotiating process and finding a just and durable solution for Kosovo-Metohija within Serbia, Loncar concluded.
