In the new report on Kosovo, the Secretary General of the United Nations Ban Ki-moon stresses that the Kosovars see UNMIK as an obstacle to the functioning of the country as a sovereign state, while Resolution 1244 is considered unimportant and non-binding.
Ban Ki-moon writes in his new report report that "the Kosovo state authorities, who are under great pressure from opposition parties, during the last months have consistently reiterated that Resolution 1244 is no longer relevant and that Kosovo institutions are not subject to any legal obligation. "
The head of the UN organization recalls ambassadors to the Security Council that Kosovo's institutions have made even more steps towards strengthening the state by diminishing powers of the Head of UNMIK stemming from Resolution 1244.
According to the newspaper "Express", the report which includes key developments that have occurred in Kosovo in the period from November 1, 2008 until March 9 this year, has undergone changes in its nature in comparison with previous reports.
The document in question contains only the political part, prepared by the office of Ban Ki-moon, but not the technical drafted by UNMIK.
Also, the four page document about EULEX is added, which talks about the deployment and activities of the EU mission which will monitor and assist the sovereign institutions of the Republic of Kosovo.

Yesterday, also the Republic of Kosovo Foreign Minisgter hinted that at the UN session he will request the termination of UNMIK, dubbing as "unnecessary to be in Kosovo any longer."
Meanwhile, the current UNMIK presence is being cut down to less than 10%, which was advised by the UN after Kosovo declared independence and enacted its new constitution.

... @ronald telling other eu members that "you dont need them" is pretty funny because iin as much as "you" wouldnt vote any new members, and "you" seem to dislike the EU so much... interesting how I dont hear "you" clamoring for the Netherlands to ... you know, actually leave the EU yourself. Its "bad" right? The Netherlands will act in its own interests, and its interests do lie with the EU. I am familiar with Wilders right wing policies, reminds me a bit of bush's domestic policies....and we all know how well that worked out. So good luck with Geert. As it is, i personally dont see kosova entering the eu for a long time to come. long after geert has come and gone anyways. |

... @AmericanEagle wo says "1244 is not relevant? NATO is staying in Kosovo as part of 1244. So if 1244 isnt relevant, then should NATO be asked to leave also or will Kosovo only apply the parts of 1244 it likes? Id like to hear an answer from the others who have submitted comments here." You are confusing UNMIK (u.n) and NATO... they are separate entities, NATO was Asked to lead the international security force as needed (kfor) and NATO has never been, and it was EXPLICITLY stated that it was not subordinate to UNMIK at all. UNMIK and NATO are not interchangeable. when unmik goes, yes nato will go too... with eulex in place. |

... @Illyrian Princess The EU will HAVE to deal with Wilders as his party is set to become the biggest party in the Netherlands after the next election (all polls show this). Wilders does not want any new EU members, no Mulsim country's in the EU (EVER) and Wilders wil and can use the Dutch veto to block any new members, the EU is NOT an democratie, every membercountry has to agree or no acces. We (the dutch) are sick and tired off spending OURE €€€€ on bottomless pits, we are the second biggest netto contributor to the EU, so whe have an VERY BIG say in the mather, 1 of the biggest reason for us to vote out the referendum on the lisbon treaty was beacause we do not wish to give up oure VETO right. We just don't want any new members (an majority of the dutch people is AGAINST more members) learn to live with the fact that EU membership is just not goning to happen the next 50 years. |

... Ronald, I cant believe you actually bring up religion into this. First of all, I can compare Wilders to Hitler for the same reason that Hitler wanted to wipe out Jews. For the same reason that Serbs wanted to wipe out Albanians. Bringing up religion into this is a weak move. Wilder is just another extremist that I can label right along the other extremists in the Middle East. Give me a break! What makes you think the EU countries will even take him seriously? Whatever happened to wanting peace for all humankind, regardless of religion? Are majority of the Serbs nationalists? Wait...dont answer that. |

... Steven, i'm somebody who wil again vote AGAINST any more EU members, remember the last outcome of the EU referendum?, we voted it to the dumpster, get lost, no more new members and the UK can leave as wel, we don't need you. PVV / Wilders will become the biggest party in the Netherlands, and they are very EU sceptic (one off theire main points is that there is NO place for muslim country's in the EU). (look it up if you dare) |

... There is always someone to say something ugly about kosovo/a, or about the albanians. i didn't grow up in that world so it seems a bit bizarre to me, even now. but i read b92 on a regular basis, and if they're good at one thing it is to put out a very steady stream of anti-independence invective. they know it's true, i've said it many times, i'm not talking about anyone behind their back. it's just a fact of life. and as for the regular serbian-language media, i can only imagine. fairly recently one of the papers ran the private contact information of a well-known human rights activist in belgrade. so we see what we are up against. nevertheless, i think in GENeral things are going well. europe is getting a bit tired of the shenanigans of the present blgd regime, and the EU, in addition to the us, of course, is strongly supportive of kosovo/a's integrity. the other side can scream about russia this and russia that. it is really rather pathetic, and granted a nuisance, but nothing more. so long as nato is in the "neighborhood", and believe me, they ain't going nowhere. the most impt thing, in my opinion, is to build up the country, to look to the future, and to try to be as inclusive as possible of ALL kosovars. i am not a nationalist for any ethnicity or group. it is all for one and one for all, that is how to build a strong and democratic multi-ethnic society. i really do believe that some -- eventually MAny serbs in kosovo/a will choose the pragmatic path forward, but not as long as blgd keeps running its un-ending propaganda campaign. i think that the effort for us to reach out to all members of kosovar society is worthwhile, and should be done not because it is being forced by the outside, but because it is right, and in the long run will pay off in solid dividends. and i believe the intl community (so called) needs to pressure the blgd regime to modify its position, and begin finding ways to make peace with the people of kosovo/a and their representatives, rather than this seemingly never-ending "war by all other means"... take care, from frisco, CA! robert0 |

... There is a possibility that an Albanian may become the next President of the Republic of Macedonia. With that said, Kosova, Albania, Macedonia and next will be Montenegro. Serbia is desperate to be identified as a leader in the Balkans. Serbia's history and current events has paralyzed it from being a little more than a Republic from one of the former Soviet Union. It is brutally obvious that Albanians are the stabilizing force in the Balkans. Under the Albanian (Albanians in the Balkans) leadership, peace and stabilty in the balkans will be secured. Albanians have always been peace loving people. People resist aggresion and agression is Serbia. Serbia take a back seat for the next thousand years and try to rebuild your society. |

... I am sorry, but are Russia and China the countries to decide what should to be done? ...NO. No matter the outcome, it will not change the fact that Kosovo is Independent. In due time, Kosovo will become a member and it will happen. Serbia has not worked their part on ever being a peaceful nation toward others, so why should they be given the chance? Tell me that. Geez! Ronald, do you have anything good to say? |
