We need to work together several weeks or months, Kouchner said after talks with UN Civil Administrator in Kosovo Joachim Ruecker and KFOR Commander Roland Kather.
The French minister said that "the story of Kosovo" under the international administration was a "successful story".
He called on Kosovo citizens not to believe speculations that the international community had changed its position on Kosovo.
Do not believe that we have changed, do not believe that the European Union had changed its position and do not believe that any of your friends had changed, Kouchner said.
During his one-day visit to Kosovo, the French foreign minister is also expected to hold talks with Kosovo President Fatmir Sejdiu, Prime Minister Agim Ceku, members of Kosovo's negotiating team and representatives of the Serb community in Kosovo. After the talks, Kouchner is expected to hold a news conference in Pristina.
