Radovan Karadzic, Sarajevo is not your city, and you have no right to say that it is, just as you do not have the right to say in public, even if it’s in court, that someone has dug up bones around Bosnia and brought them to Srebrenica to make a fake graveyard. This is insulting.
Sejdiu: One International Presence for Kosovo
| 24 April 2008 |
Pristina _ There is no question of having two international presences in Kosovo, one for Albanians and one for Serbs, Kosovar President Fatmir Sejdiu said in Pristina on Thursday.
Sejdiu was commenting on the winding down of the United Nations administration, UNMIK, when the newly-adopted constitution of Kosovo comes into force on June 15.
By mid-June, the new European Union police and justice mission, EULEX, is expected to take over UNMIK's supervisory role in Kosovo. UNMIK says it is ready to reconfigure its activities by then.
Sejdiu stressed that “UNMIK will play its role for as long as Resolution 1244 is in place,” but he refused to say how long this is likely to be the case.
Under Security Council Resolution 1244 UNMIK has administered Kosovo since June 1999.
On Thursday, UNMIK spokesperson Sven Lindholm said that reconfiguration simply means evolving tasks as the situation changes.
Serbs in Kosovo, as well as the Serbian government in Belgrade, oppose the deployment of EULEX, especially in the northern municipalities of Kosovo, where Serbs predominate.
