kate did a fair job in outlining key objectives but in her attempt at brevity some elements that were omitted change the meaning, purely unintentional I am sure.
pre 15 godina
L*O*G*I*C: Here they are for you:
The key elements of the UN six-point plan as presented in the report of the UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon:
Police
- Formation of additional sub-stations in non-Albanian areas
- Unmik will appoint a senior Kosovo Serb officer
- All policing in Kosovo will remain under international monitoring
B. Customs
- Kosovo will continue to function as a single customs area.
- International customs officers appointed in accordance with Security Council
resolution 1244 (1999) will be reinstated at gates 1 and 31 (administrative line with central Serbia)
- Customs revenues collected at gates 1 and 31 should benefit the
development of local communities.
C. Justice
- Following discussions to develop the principles, the courthouse complex in
northern Mitrovica has been recently made operational on a limited basis under
UNMIK control, applying UNMIK law only and staffed by UNMIK personnel for a
period of up to 60 days from the opening of the courthouse.
- During subsequent phases, local judges and prosecutors will be appointed in
accordance with Security Council resolution 1244 (1999).
D. Transportation and infrastructure
- The discussions have indicated acknowledgement of the need for close
cooperation on major matters of infrastructure (road, rail, water, electricity), flows
of traffic and trade and very important practical matters, such as recognition of
qualifications.
E. Boundaries
- Many of the issues relevant to the management of the boundary will be
addressed by the transportation and infrastructure technical committee process.
Otherwise, and as indicated in my earlier report, in accordance with Security
Council resolution 1244 (1999), KFOR, as the international military presence, will
continue to fulfil its security mandate throughout Kosovo, including with respect to
the boundaries, in conjunction with other international organizations.
F. Serbian patrimony
- International protection of the Serbian Orthodox Church in Kosovo must and
will continue. The discussions have shown universal support for the principle of the
protection of the cultural heritage and patrimony of the Serbian Orthodox Church in
Kosovo.
- The agenda would include the implementation of protective arrangements
around major Serbian Orthodox Church sites, activities related to the welfare of the
monks and nuns, such as exempting the Serbian Orthodox Church from value-added
tax, excise tax and customs duties, modalities of reconstruction of the sites by the
Serbian Orthodox Church and the issue of return of archaeological artefacts.

Serbia keeps insisting on a plan that no one has heard of it.
Can someone tell us what all the 6 points are?
pre 15 godina
very good kate, the eternal excuse tactic.
However, the 6point plan that Serbia so gloriously negotiated states Dialogue with Pristina and Belgrade.
Pristina did not show because Belgrade would not acknowledge them as a state. The UNMIK made it a point these talks had nothing to do with status. If Serbia wanted only discussions with UNMIK or with "provincial" govt then they should have had that put in the 6 point plan.
This way Serbia has told the rest of the world that the 6point plan was their idea, and they are going to scream because no one is forcing it down the Kosovo govt's throat but if that were to happen they have no intentions of following through.
In other words a govt of hot air and no substance.
pre 15 godina
To PSS - And also on the 6 point list accepted by the Security Council November 26th 2008 is that there will be a status neutrality in line with Resolution 1244.
That means that of course Serbia would not attend a meeting where Kosovo is portrayed as a state, any more than Pristina would attend a meeting where they are not accepted as a state.
The weight falls down in favour of the Serbian government, however, and the fact that Kosovo is still legally a province.
Therefore the UN and all offshoots have to set up direct negotiation without any acceptance of Kosovo as a state.
The internationals shouldn't have promised the earth when they can only legally deliver sand.
pre 15 godina
Pristina must be fuming mad to be left out in this international forum inside their own city!
pre 15 godina
Don't quite understand why Serbia keeps harping about the 6 point plan. Item 6 was discussions with Belgrade and Pristina need to take place concerning cultural heritage. Belgrade did not even show for the meeting. What a joke.
How is anyone in the international arena to take this seriously.
