PRISTINA, Nov. 26 (Xinhua) -- Kosovo President Fatmir
Sejdiu and Prime Minister Hashim Thaci reiterated their opposition on Wednesday
to the United Nations' six-point plan about the deployment of European Union's
Rule of Law Mission (EULEX) in Kosovo.
At a joint press conference in Pristina, Sejdiu and
Thaci said Kosovo institutions made clear their position on Nov. 18 (with their
own four-point document) against UN six-point plan.
"The same refusal position we have even today," said
Sejdiu.
Kosovo leaders claim the UN plan is against the
Kosovo Constitution and Comprehensive Status Proposal of UN status envy Martti
Ahtisaari.
"We are convinced this plan violates the sovereignty
of the Republic of Kosovo," said Sejdiu.
They called on Kosovo's international friends to make
clear EULEX will be deployed in coordination with Kosovo institutions.
The UN Security Council will in New York late on
Wednesday discuss the report of the UN secretary-general on the reconfiguration
of the UN mission in Kosovo (UNMIK), which represents a confirmation of the
agreement the UN and Belgrade had reached on the six-point plan.
The six-point plan arranges the aspects of customs,
police, border controls, justice, transport and Serb religious heritage in
Kosovo.
Having been run by the UNMIK by nearly nine years,
ethnic Albanian-majority Kosovo unilaterally declared independence in February
despite strong opposition from Serbia and Kosovo's ethnic Serbs.
Sejdiu said Kosovo is in favor of EULEX deployment in
whole Kosovo territory but in accordance with Pristina's document respecting
Kosovo's sovereignty and territorial integrity.
Thaci appealed for a calm response to this
development.
"Any other response to this will serve in the
interest of groups interested in provoking Kosovo," said Thaci.
The UN six-point plan has caused concern in Kosovo,
with opposition and civil society supporting local leaders in refusing the plan.
All local parties believe it may led to partition of
the territory, but western ambassadors in Pristina claim the plan should be
accepted, saying it is in the interest of Kosovo.
