UN SC to debate Kosovo on March 23

The UN Security Council will discuss the UN’s mission to Kosovo on March 23, a statement from UN said.

The Libyan ambassador to the UN, Ibrahim Dabashi, whose country will lead the Security Council in March, said the Council will discuss the report of the Secretary General, Ban Ki-Moon on Kosovo. 

Ban’s report, which will include details of discussions on six point implementation plan, is to be sent to the Security Council in a few days. The plan regulates the status of Serbs in parts of Kosovo where they form the majority, and covers issues such as police, judiciary, customs, transportation, infrastructure and protection of the Serbian cultural heritage.

Kosovo’s senior leaders have opposed the six point plan arguing that Kosovo now has its own institutions and governing mechanisms.

“The ‘six points’ are totally unacceptable,” Prime Minister Hashim Thaci said. “Kosovo has its own four points, creating the perspective for EULEX to deploy all over Kosovo.”
