BELGRADE, Nov 20 (Hina) - British Foreign Secretary Robin Cook told
Belgrade's radio B-92 on Thursday that the international community
does not endorse the independence of Kosovo, because it would
jeopardise the stability of the region.
Cook stressed the necessity for Kosovo to enjoy an autonomy within
Serbia, for which a precondition is serious dialogue with Kosovo
Albanians.
The international community has a commitment which it is trying to
fulfil, and that is to convince the Kosovo Liberation Army to
respect cease-fire.
That is why many countries are now undertaking measures to relay
this message to armed Albanians, Cook said.
He expressed concern with the fact that the Albanian side is
refusing to begin a dialogue with Serbian authorities, and added
that he hoped that the Kosovo Albanian leader Rugova's negotiators
would soon shed light on their negotiating stances.
