Kosovo and the UN Security Council

The UN Security Council begins talks about the plan proposed by UN Special Envoy Martti Ahtisaari for the future of Kosovo. He recommands an "independence under international supervision" fort this Serb province that has been under UN administration since 1999. The position of Russia, which could exercise its right of veto in Serbia's favour, will be decisive. But even the EU member states have not yet reached a consensus.

Der Standard - Austria

Andrej Ivanji reports from Belgrade that "in Serbia the view is gaining ground that the West is prepared to do the Serb people a terrible injustice, while Russia is a true friend and partner. Only a handful of analysts are pointing out that Russia's support could turn out to be very deceptive and that Belgrade's policies, led astray by emotion, could trigger a wave of anti-Western feeling in Serbia. State President Boris Tadic, who now stands rather isolated, has repeatedly warned that regardless of the Kosovo issue, the EU is Serbia's most important partner and that there is no alternative to the country's European perspective. Unlike in Belgrade, people in Pristina are convinced that in the end Russia will give in and at least tacitly consent to Kosovo's independence." (03/04/2007)

Monitor - Bulgaria

The American lawyer and expert in international law, Anthony D'Amato criticises the Ahtisaari plan and speaks out in favour of dividing Kosovo into an Albanian and a Serb section: "The solution proposed by Ahtisaari violates international law... The UN's power to divide the territory of Kosovo into an 85 percent and a 15 percent section reflecting the make-up of the population allows the Security Council to enforce Article VII and thus establish international peace and security. In this way Serbia would loose its sovereignty over the areas populated by Albanians. However, the Security Council does not have the right to deprive Serbia of the remaining 15 percent. Accordingly, northern Kosovo should remain part of Serbia." (03/04/2007)

Berliner Zeitung - Alemania

Frank Herold explains that the UN Security Council's decision will depend not only on Russia but also on Slovakia. It's not yet clear whether Slovakia will vote in favour of supervised independence for Kosovo, as it fears this could set a precedent for its own Hungarian minority. Although the EU "got its representatives France, Great Britain, Italy, Belgium and Slovakia to confirm their support for Ahtisaari's proposal last weekend, these countries haven't actually committed to saying 'yes'. Not only does Slovakia have deep misgivings, its parliament has also passed a declaration. Its representative is only to support a UN resolution which respects Serbia's position. It would be disastrous if the Ahtisaari plan were to fail because Slovakia abstains. If the Security Council does not pass a resolution there will be two losers for certain: the Serb minority, which without a Council decision will continue to have no guarantee of its rights, and the European Union."
