New head
of UN Administration in Kosovo
visits NATO
The new head of the United Nations Interim Administration Mission
in Kosovo (UNMIK), Mr. Michael Steiner, met with NATO Secretary
General, Lord Robertson, at NATO HQ on 11 March. Their discussions
centred on ways in which NATO and UNMIK can continue to cooperate
to make the new interim administration work effectively, in
the interests of the people of Kosovo. Lord Robertson pledged
NATO support for a "relentless attack" on organised
crime in the region, in cooperation with UNMIK, and a "strong
and robust military posture appropriate to the sense of stability"
in Kosovo.
Mr. Steiner, the former foreign policy advisor to the German
Chancellor, Gerhard Schroeder, took over the position of Special
Representative of the Secretary General of the UN in Kosovo
from Mr. Hans Haekkerup in February. Mr. Steiner also previously
served as the Deputy High Representative to Bosnia in 1996.
