UNMIK/PR/277
PRISTINA---SRSG Bernard Kouchner welcomed the decision taken this morning by the Serb National Council to rejoin the IAC and the KTC as observers after a temporary suspension of a couple of weeks. This courageous action will allow the Kosovo Serb representatives to once again play their rightful role in building a democratic, peaceful and tolerant Kosovo. He also expressed the hope that all peace-loving Serbs in Kosovo will join in this common effort to build a new Kosovo.
During the past few weeks, UNMIK and the SNC have worked closely together to reach an understanding on additional measures to be taken to ensure freedom, security and fundamental human rights of the Serb community in Kosovo. This joint UNMIK-SNC Understanding, which contains concrete steps to improve the life of the Serb community, will be signed later this week.
