A final and long-lasting solution to the Kosovo issue cannot be achieved without an agreement with Serbia, especially in regard to the U.N.

An international presence in Serbia's Kosovo province is not a problem. But only a civilian and unarmed mission under U.N. auspices, with Russia's participation, would be acceptable.

Serbs can only leave Kosovo.

Serbia has become a pariah nation, untouchable like a leper.

I was part of a government that tried to resolve the question of Kosovo by war. Perhaps there is some justice that today I should be the person most responsible for finding a peaceful solution.

Yugoslavia and Serbia will fight against terrorists regardless of whether a political agreement is reached or not.
