Strong support from the international community is needed to ensure ‘positive momentum’ is sustained between Serbia and Kosovo, a United Nations envoy told the Security Council today.
“While the international community has regularly committed a strong level of political engagement and resources to promote progress, this is perhaps still more crucial during the coming period for all international presences in Kosovo,” said Special Representative of the Secretary-General and Head of the UN Assistance Mission in Kosovo, Farid Zarif.
Support and resourcefulness will sustain peace in the region, Mr. Zarif said, and “help ensure that positive momentum is sustained in the face of inevitable challenges.”
Kosovo declared independence from Serbia in February 2008 following years of ethnic tensions, but Serbia has not recognized the declaration.
