Reactions to unveiling of Kosovo plan

“Kosovo's minority Serbs, who faced revenge attacks after the war and now live largely separate lives in isolated enclaves, should accept a U.N. proposal to grant the province eventual independence from Serbia,” Ceku explained.

He said the U.N. proposal offers Kosovo Serbs "the full guarantees" that their rights will be protected.

"They have all the necessary means to have a dignified and prosperous life in Kosovo together with all of us," Ceku said.

The Kosovo prime minister said Monday, upon the official unveiling of Ahtisaari’s plan that “supervised independence might not be an ideal solution, but it surely was the only realistic and viable option for Kosovo.”

Kosovo President Fatmir Sejdiu said on the same occasion Monday that the day the UN envoy Martti Ahtisaari recommended independence for Kosovo was of historical importance for the province.

"The fate of Kosovo is now in the hands of the UN Security Council," Sejdiu said.

He added he was pleased that "the comprehensive proposal to finally settle the status of Kosovo and grant independence to the province received the full support of UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon."

“The independence of Kosovo, initially supervised by the international community, will benefit all of Kosovo’s citizens, including the Albanian majority and all minority communities that reside in Kosovo,” Sejdiu said.

He concluded that “an independent Kosovo would add to stability and peace in the region, as it is the last unresolved issue in South East Europe.”
