"The European Union is preparing to assume a greater role in post-status Kosovo. Ongoing status negotiations notwithstanding, significant preparations are being made for the future International Civilian Office and an ESDP mission of rule of law for Kosovo.
The Commission is financing CSFP joint actions establishing planning teams in Pristina. These teams have developed the blueprints for the future missions on the basis of the Ahtisaari plan. However, the final shape of the future international missions will depend on the exact outcome of status negotiations. The Commission has worked in close cooperation with the two teams in order to ensure a coherent overall EU presence in a post-status Kosovo.
I would also like to use this opportunity to thank the European Parliament for its excellent cooperation in facilitating the financing of these very important missions. The Commission fully supports the work of the international Troika which is currently leading the negotiations and there is the deadline of 10 December for the Troika activities as confirmed by the contact group ministerial in New York in September. At this point in time it is too early to speculate when exactly Kosovo’s status will be resolved but it is clear that prolonging the agony will not serve anybody’s purpose. On our behalf, we are ready to turn every stone and even more in order to achieve a negotiated solution which would be best for everybody. We ask that from both sides and from our partners in the international community, while at the same time, of course, we are preparing ourselves for better or worse scenarios as regards Kosovo’s status."@en1
