11. Kosovo. We favour an increase in the international monitoring presence in Kosovo.

But Mr. Covic's perception of, for example, freedom of movement for minorities in Kosovo does not seem to us to be borne out by the situation on the ground as reflected by the empirical data in the technical assessment annexed to the Secretary General's report  an assessment which I did not consider actually to have been embellished .

Thirdly, Kosovo Serbs need to be allowed to play a full part in the political life of Kosovo.

That way, Kosovo Serbs can be persuaded to participate in the institutions of Kosovo and Metohija.

Endgame in Kosovo

1. The situation in Kosovo

Other speakers addressed problems facing the Roma from Kosovo, particularly in the context of the future status of Kosovo and the Kosovo Standards Implementation Plan.

Participation is the most effective means for Kosovo's Serbs to advance their interests in Kosovo.

Finally, for close cooperation among the Kosovo Force (KFOR), UNMIK and the Kosovo Police Service and, increasingly, with the central and local authorities in Kosovo, we will continue our efforts to ensure the maintenance of a safe and secure environment for everyone in Kosovo.

Another Kosovo Serb leader was attacked recently in the northern part of Kosovo.

They will ask that the will of the Kosova people for the Independent and Neutral Republic of Kosova be realized without delay.

In the same vein, we call on the Kosovo Serb representatives to assume their role in the political life in Kosovo.

Land for Peace in Kosovo

I did not say that Kosovo Serbs should play a full part in the life of Kosovo.

In paragraph 72 (former paragraph 73), for Kosovo read Kosovo (Serbia and Montenegro).

For Kosovo read Kosovo (Serbia and Montenegro)

For Kosovo read Kosovo (Serbia and Montenegro)

This means mainly that the Kosovo Albanians and their leaders must step up their efforts to reach out to the Kosovo Serbs, while the latter must show their concrete will to integrate into Kosovo society.

In particular, I urge Kosovo Serbs to engage in the local government reform process.

In Kosovo, the OSCE is an integral part of the pillar structure of the United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK).

That is not yet the case in Kosovo.

We have reached an important milestone in Kosovo.

Thank you, Mr. Minister.

Both are operational throughout Kosovo.

The situation in Kosovo also continues to deteriorate.

I want to pay tribute again to the Commander of the Kosovo Force (KFOR) and his forces, whose excellent work and close coordination with the United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK) and the Kosovo Police Service (KPS) is playing a key role in maintaining a safe and secure environment in Kosovo.

I do not expect major returns before status is clarified, but to reassure Kosovo Serbs of their future in Kosovo, and to promote returns, we need the constructive engagement of Belgrade and the direct involvement of the Kosovo Serbs.

We urge politicians and rival political parties in Kosovo to cooperate in consolidating progress towards unity and final status for Kosovo.

We urge the Government in Belgrade to actively encourage Kosovo Serbs to participate fully in all of Kosovo's political institutions and working groups.

In Kosovo, the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe and the EU were also included as part of the structures of the United Nations Mission in Kosovo.

Authorities in Belgrade continued to reject the legitimacy of KPC as an institution and Kosovo Serb participation in it.

The KPC KFOR team reported that Kosovo Serbs experienced intense pressure from their communities not to join KPC resulting from Belgrade's rejection of the legitimacy of KPC and of Kosovo Serb participation in it. Eleven Serbs were dismissed over the reporting period for non attendance.

And Kosovo became independent.

The only way for Kosovo Serb interests to be fully reflected and addressed now and in the future is through the full engagement of Kosovo Serbs in Kosovo's political life.

Time is running out in Kosovo.

The Serbs suffered defeat in the Battle of Kosovo.

A Kosovo Police Force was established in 1999.

After a week at Landstuhl he returned to Kosovo.
