/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Secretary General of the United Nations Ban Ki-moon
stated that the issue of Kosovo’s future status is one of the most
important and sensitive problems in international agenda. He stressed
its resolution is in the hands of the Security Council and expressed
hope that members of the Council will make a fair decision after
examining the plan of his Special Envoy Marti Ahtisaari.
During the meeting with journalists dedicated to the results of his
participation in the G8 summit and other issues, Ban Ki-moon noted
the Kosovo problem was one of the major topics of negotiations in
Germany. He added he has personally held brief consultations with
Russian President Vladimir Putin.
"I hope this time we will not lose a lot of time for making a
decision. It is absolutely necessary that the UN, particularly the
Security Council would make a fair decision by adopting, to put
it correctly, by approving recommendations of Marti Ahtisaari,"
Ban Ki-moon stated. He expressed hopes that consultations over that
subject will continue among Security Council member-states, UN Press
Office reports.
The Ahtisaari Plan supposes to grant Kosovo independence and Russia
opposes that plan.
