Developments As Regards the Future Status of Kosovo
Parliamentary Assembly Assemblée parlementaire Doc. 11472 3 January 2008 Developments as regards the future status of Kosovo Report Political Affairs Committee Rapporteur: Lord Russell-Johnston, United Kingdom, Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe Summary The solution of the Kosovo status process is a fundamental element for ensuring peace and long-term stability in Europe. In its previous texts, the Assembly affirmed the importance of reaching a mutually-accepted solution. At the same time, it has also constantly stressed that the undecided status of Kosovo casts uncertainty over the further political stabilisation of the entire region, including its perspective of European integration; it affects its economic recovery; it prevents displaced persons and refugees from Kosovo from reaching a decision whether to return to their homes; it has a negative impact on the consolidation of a fully-responsible and accountable political leadership and hampers the full attainment of the Standards for Kosovo. In the light of more than two years of unfruitful efforts, the report concludes that the potential for finding a compromise has been exhausted. The United Nations Security Council (UNSC) should, therefore, overcome existing differences and impose a solution. Should the UNSC be incapable of achieving a unanimous position, the possibility that the Kosovo Assembly resorts to a Unilateral Declaration of Independence is not to be excluded. In this case, European Union member states should achieve a single position. The parties concerned are urged to continue to act in a responsible manner, keep their pledge to preserve peace and dialogue in all circumstances and refrain from any incitement to violence.
