"Mr Dupuis, there will obviously be no attempt by the Council to work towards a change in the status of Kosovo outside the framework established in Security Council Resolution 1244/99.
I would also like to say that the way in which this issue was addressed in the Security Council raises another quite interesting question, which is how the European Union is represented on that Council, and therefore, to what extent the European Union’s representation on the Council follows our rules on external policy and common security. However, it would probably take us more than one Parliamentary sitting to discuss this.
I would nevertheless like to say that we know that the situation in Kosovo is also closely connected with that of all the countries and regions surrounding it. The situation in Kosovo will not be resolved in isolation. It will be resolved when there is stability throughout the region. This leads, of course, to the measures being taken within the European Union, both in terms of stabilising the situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and in terms of the new contractual relations which we are trying to establish with the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia. There is also the raft of positive measures which we are trying to implement together with Albania, in addition, of course, to the pressure we are putting on the Serbian authorities, specifically the support we are providing to Serbian towns with democratic structures, through the “Energy for Democracy” project.
These actions, taken together, and as a result of the synergy between them, may also create a framework for resolving the situation in Kosovo. The situation in Kosovo itself will not be resolved unless there is an overall plan for stability in the region."@en1
