I am well acquainted with Croatia's promotion of its candidacy for a nonpermanent member of the UN Security Council for the 2008/2009 period. I hope that Croatia's delegation to the UN will diligently work with members and ensure enough support for Croatia to be elected, the UN Secretary-General told the Croatian Vjesnik daily.
Wednesday's issue of the daily quotes him as saying that the time has come for the international community to adopt a clear decision about Kosovo.
It is true that Mr. (Marrti) Ahtisaari, my special envoy, has completed consultations with parties in concern. The consultations could not satisfy all the parties... I hold that it is high time that the international community bring a clear decision on the matter, Ban Ki Moon said.
