Koenders "believes that the proposal's constitutional, economic and security provisions are truly aimed at contributing to the development of a multi-ethnic, democratic and prosperous Kosovo", reads a statement released by the NATO Parliamentary Assembly.
"Mr Koenders fully supports the UN-led process to resolve Kosovo's future status and welcomes the fact that, according to Mr Ahtisaari's plan, NATO will continue to lead the international military presence providing a safe and secure environment throughout Kosovo.
"This important role of NATO requires the urgent attention of the Member States.
"Mr. Koenders also welcomes the idea of appointing an International Civil Representative, double-hatted as the EU Special Representative, and sending an ESDP mission which will monitor, mentor and advise on all areas related to the rule of law. He strongly encourages close NATO-EU cooperation on this issue."
Throughout the years, the NATO Parliamentary Assembly has developed very good working relations with both Serbian and Kosovar parliamentary institutions, and Mr Koenders is very willing to offer the good services of the Assembly to promote the dialogue and compromise needed to resolve this important question, the statement read.
