UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon says the overall security situation in Kosovo is stable despite the incidents that have occurred in north Kosovska Mitrovica.

Ban: Security situation stable In the document, the secretary-general also says that the reconfigured UN Mission in Kosovo will maintain a small presence in the field, particularly in Kosovska Mitrovica. It will focus on reporting on minority issues, including minority representation, returns and freedom of movement, as well as issues relating to the protection, preservation and reconstruction of cultural heritage in Kosovo. In the report, he states that EULEX assumed full operational responsibility from UNMIK in the area of the rule of law on December 9, within the framework of Resolution 1244 (1999) and under the overall authority of the United Nations. The secretary general points out in the report, which refers to the period between November 1, 2008 and March 9 this year, that the return statistics for 2008 show a dramatic decline in the number of voluntary minority returns, and that according to estimates by the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), only 582 minority community members returned to Kosovo last year. An annex to the report, signed by EULEX Chief Yves de Kermabon, states that that mission expects to reach full operational capability by the end of winter. Ban Ki-moon (Fonet, archive)
