KARLOWY VARY, June 24 (Hina) - By adopting the final document and joint statement on Kosovo and the Stability Pact, the one day conference of foreign ministers or their deputies of 16 Central European Initiative (CEI) ended in the Slovakian town of Karlowy Vary on Thursday evening. In a joint statement on Kosovo CEI ministers supported the adoption of the UN Resolution on Kosovo which is based on the G-8 peace plan of the deployment of the KFOR and the withdrawal of the Yugoslav army and police forces from Kosovo. The ministers also called on all sides involved to fully support the UN Resolution. The ministers expressed their satisfaction that the Kosovo crisis "caused by unacceptable ethnic intolerance and systematic ethnic cleansing" had ended and as such revived ones hope in the stabilisation of Kosovo and the entire region. In that regard, the importance of respect and re-establishment of minority and ethnic rights in Yugoslavia, including the Vojvodina and Sandzak regions was highlighted. CEI ministers condemned the "massive killing of civilian population on Kosovo", and called on all sides to completely cooperate with the International Tribunal for War Crimes Committed in the Former Yugoslavia. According to their evaluation, lasting peace and stability in south east Europe will revive when "democratic principles and values, which are actively promoted in many countries in the region, take root in Yugoslavia as well, and a priority for this is a resolution to the Kosovo crisis". In its final document the ministers decided that in keeping with the Stability Pact, they consider the possibility of the "democratically elected government in Montenegro", to cooperate in CEI projects. "A political solution to the Kosovo crisis and the democratisation of Yugoslavia would open the road to participation for these particular countries to the CEI with a previously submitted request for membership to the CEI as a successor country to the former Yugoslavia", continues the document. The joint statement welcomes the adoption of the Stability Pact and expresses the CEI's determination to actively participate and contribute to the Pact's objectives. In that regard, the ministers concluded that the CEI "possesses potential for concrete contributions in many areas which are covered by the Stability Pact, using its own instruments and possibilities". This refers to the CEI working group, followed by the Executive secretariat of the organisation, the secretariat for CEI projects with the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development. The CEI working group, the statement notes, covers areas which directly concern the Stability Pact - from democratisation to human rights, through to economic development and cooperation to security issues excluding its military component. The final document also refers to the situation in Bosnia- Herzegovina and cooperation between the CEI and EU. CEI ministers have called for the speedier implementation of the peace accord for BH based on the principals of equal rights and obligations of all three constitutive peoples. The document also calls on the speedier return of refugees and displaced persons in secure conditions and with dignity; media reforms and reforms in education; finally the proper functioning of state institutions and institutions involved with human rights protection. The CEI ministers confirmed their interest that the organisation strengthens its ties to the EU at all levels and welcomed the EU's decision to open possibilities for institutional relations between countries in southern and eastern Europe via stability agreements on an individual basis.
