Russian deputy FM: Ahtisaari plan will not pass

Meanwhile, RIA Novosti reports that a situation review on the implementation of the UN Resolution 1244 was presented by the UN Secretariat Monday at Russia's insistence, who have said the resolution is not being complied with, while the status of Kosovo cannot be established without Belgrade's consent.

"The report was over optimistic. It presented a mainly positive picture, which can be understood on a purely psychological level: the UN reported on its own performance in the province. But our assessment is more objective: a number of provisions of the resolution have not been carried out," Russia’s UN ambassador Vitaly Churkin said.

He said only a handful of Serb refugees have returned to their homes, while security measures for ethnic minorities have yet to be observed.

Churkin said Resolution 1244 could serve as a basis for negotiations between Serbia and the province's Albanian majority.

The agency reports that as an alternative to the Ahtisaari plan, which envisages granting Kosovo supervised independence, Moscow has proposed sending a UN mission to Kosovo and Belgrade before continuing talks on the region's status.

The UN Security Council backed Russia's initiative April 13, and the UN mission is expected to visit Belgrade April 25-26 and Priština April 27-28.
