Hoxhaj calls today's Security Council meeting for Kosovo historic

Many of these countries have viewed the collection as unnecessary every three months for reporting on Kosovo. So they requested from the Security Council that meetings on this issue be held less frequently.

This meeting by Kosovo Deputy Prime Minister Enver Hoxhaj is being praised as historic, in the sense of watching Kosovo's 10th anniversary of independence.

In an interview for Indexline, Hoxhaj said this meeting has great significance, given the determinous role the UN Security Council has had for Kosovo's final status.

According to him, overall Security Council assessments are relevant that these assessments then have a dimension for how Kosovo is seen and understood in the world as a new state.

This Security Council meeting is historic in understanding the 10th anniversary of Kosovo's independence. United Nations organisations and the Security Council have had a determinous role in the case of what Kosovo is, given the resolutions the Security Council has adopted during the years -- especially in 1998-99 -- above all “Resolution 1244”, which has had a crucial role in placing Kosovo under international administration. But, the Security Council has also been an institution that has taken positions on Kosovo's final status, since Martti Ahtisaari, was then appointed by the Security Council as the UN special envoy to choose a final status and has been his proposal that Kosovo be sovereign and independent”, Hoxhaj has declared.

Citing the positive assessments of UN member states, Hoxhaj has briefly commented on Serbian Foreign Minister Ivica Dacic's statement, where he says his rhetoric should not be taken seriously.

“Reflections of member states on where Kosovo is after 10 years of declaration of independence are positive assessments. Everyone recognises that we have had concrete success in internal consolidation of citizenship, where the basis of this internal consolidation of citizenship has been precisely implementation of the plan of Marti Ahtisaari, which has been a UN plan for Kosovo's enlargement and sovereignty through international recognition, through membership in various international organisations. Although progress has been deemed directly and well by the supportive states of Kosovo, what Serbian Foreign Minister, his rhetoric, claims, should not be taken very seriously”, Deputy Prime Minister Hoxhaj has added.

Furthermore, he has spoken about how much this assessment will help Kosovo, for its membership in various international organisations.

Any report written by the Secretary General and presented by his envoy representing him U n NMIC in Kosovo is a reference that is read by UN member states. But the assessments of the Security member states are significant, as all UN member states forward this session, its diplomats and, of course, that the progress Kosovo has made can affect the states, whether it belongs to membership in concrete organisations or to Kosovo recognition. Then, it is our inner priority where we can apply, in which organization, at which organization is the time, in which organization we are able to become part of it”, Hoxhaj said.

He has further said that the 10th anniversary of Kosovo's independence should be used for new insights.

<x0 ..."Progress that we've made in the last 10 years, whether in the internal plan, whether in the outside, serious and mature conduct of a new state, and the fact that Kosovo as a new state has achieved more than many states which are UN member states, talk about what claims Serbia has had, or Russia to undermine Kosovo's independence and to undermine Kosovo's citizenship have been false and that this 10th anniversary should be exploited in the Security Council, whether it wants at the international forum, in any ratio with any secular state that has not recognised Kosovo, or in any part of which we have not yet declared, of the UN, the UN, he has declared, for example, for example, the next.

Above all, according to him, this meeting shows that Kosovo belongs to the UN, and Kosovo's path to UN membership, though difficult, will be unstoppable.
