Press Release (2002) 115 3 October 2002 |
Statement
by the Secretary General of NATO, On Tuesday, the United Nations Secretary General's Special Representative in Kosovo (SRSG), Michael Steiner, announced a far-reaching and forward-looking plan to help the Serb community in Kosovo, notably in Mitrovica, make further progress, with the help of the International Community, in addressing some of their vital concerns. The SRSG's initiative, in particular the seven points outlined in his address to the citizens of Mitrovica, has my full support. The proposals offer a unique opportunity to make practical improvements to the daily lives of the Serb community in Kosovo. KFOR is fully committed to supporting UNMIK in this endeavour and to continue fulfilling its responsibilities as mandated by UNSCR 1244. Looking ahead, the municipal elections in Kosovo will provide an additional
opportunity for the Serb community in Kosovo to make its voice heard through
the democratic process. I encourage all members of the Serb community
to take advantage of this opportunity to ensure a better future. As in
the past, KFOR will ensure that these elections will be carried out in
a secure environment. |
