UN Security Council urges Serbia and Kosovo to bridge differences

During the 6422nd meeting of the UN Security Council, UNMIK chief Lamberto Zannier expressed his concern that after the World Court voiced its opinion, Kosovo has grown uneasy with UNMIK cooperation. He was concerned with a media campaign blaming UNMIK staff members for a lack of progress in northern Mitrovica.

Zannier also mentioned that since elections in Kosovo were not going to be held under resolution 1244 Serbia could not be expected to encourage participation by Serb citizens in Kosovo.

The Security Council affirmed the need for dialog between Serbia and Kosovo.
