"In your contribution you spoke about the importance of ensuring that the International Protectorate in Kosovo remains part of Serbia in conformity with Resolution 1244 and international law. I am not sure what relation this has with the proclamation of independence of Kosovo, with which you seem to agree. You are certainly right in saying that it is our duty to ensure that Kosovo become once more multiethnic and democratic.
This unilateral proclamation of independence is an unprecedented breach of international law. Several hundred thousand inhabitants of this territory, who belong to eight different ethnic groups, were banned from their homes with the silent consent of the occupation forces. It is difficult to believe that these forces have not been able to create conditions for their return. Today, instead of helping to create such conditions, you agree with the unilateral proclamation of a second Albanian state. Mr President, does it not matter to you that the economy of this state seems to be dependant on opium trade in Europe?
The Parliament of the Czech Republic as well as Parliaments of other countries has demanded a solution to this issue through international negotiations. Let us realise that one-off solutions, as mentioned in your contribution, do not exist. Any solution sets a precedent. Let us not allow the breach of the Serbian sovereignty."@en1
