UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon will present Wednesday his regular quarterly report on the situation in Kosovo and Metohija. The potentially unstable situation in Kosovo affects the Belgrade-Pristina dialogue under the auspices of the EU and the talks about the European perspective of the entire region. Status quo cannot be a path to a permanent resolution of the Kosovo issue, reads the report, which Tanjug has seen. UN chief to present Kosovo report on Wednesday Events in northern Kosovo showed that status quo as a way to resolve the Kosovo issue cannot bring about a permanent solution of the problem, because it takes a strong vision of the path that should be taken and joint engagement with the international community, the UN secretary-general noted in his report on Kosovo which covers the period from October 16, 2011 to January 15, 2012. Ban points out that tensions have dropped of late but he is still concerned over the instable situation and constant risks of provocations and escalation of multi-ethnic tensions. The situation in northern Kosovo is still tense, primarily due to actions implemented by Pristina, Kosovo Serbs and Belgrade in the previous period, the report states. The UN Secretary-General recalled that on December 9 last year, the European Council postponed the decision to grant Serbia the EU candidate status until March 2012, and that some member countries brought this point in direct connection with the situation in northern Kosovo. The events from the last quarter of 2011 proved once again that there is a continued threat to peace and stability which both the people in the field and the international community are faced with, the report reads. Ban said, however, that the dialogue in Brussels showed that it is possible to reach an agreement on resolving practical issues of people in the field, and commended both Belgrade and Pristina on renewing the dialogue under difficult circumstances. The Security Council reviewed the previous report in November 2011. Tanjug
