PRISTINA, Aug 2 (Hina) - The UN Mission in Kosovo has applauded the appointment of Nebojsa Covic special Yugoslav envoy for Kosovo but will not accept debates on the possibility of cantonising the province or establishing parallel
Serb authorities there. The Mission hopes Belgrade does not have a plan or proposal for the cantonisation of Kosovo or its division into entities as it is out of line with the UN Security Council Resolution 1244 which states Kosovo's territory is indivisible, spokesman Simon Haselock said in Pristina on Thursday.

PRISTINA, Aug 2 (Hina) - The UN Mission in Kosovo has applauded the
appointment of Nebojsa Covic special Yugoslav envoy for Kosovo but
will not accept debates on the possibility of cantonising the
province or establishing parallel Serb authorities there.
The Mission hopes Belgrade does not have a plan or proposal for the
cantonisation of Kosovo or its division into entities as it is out
of line with the UN Security Council Resolution 1244 which states
Kosovo's territory is indivisible, spokesman Simon Haselock said
in Pristina on Thursday.
Covic was appointed special Yugoslav envoy for Kosovo by the
governments of Yugoslavia and Serbia earlier today.
Haselock said the UNMIK welcomed the appointment as it was willing
to contact a serious mediator about every issue pertaining to the
southern Yugoslav province.
The priority of Serbia's plan to settle the Kosovo crisis is to
build Kosovo Serbs' confidence in the international community and
stop Kosovo's road towards independence.
Haselock said the final political status of Kosovo would be the
subject of a broad international debate.
