Citing an article published in Belgrade-based Pravda newspaper, Kosova Sot reports that the United Nations want to shut down the UNMIK office in Kosovo which would make Resolution 1244 practically irrelevant. The newspaper reported that UNMIK chief Lamberto Zannier will soon leave the post as he will be appointed chief of the OSCE on July 1st.

The newspaper reported that UNMIK chief Lamberto Zannier will soon leave the post as he will be appointed chief of the OSCE on July 1st.

Kosovo political representatives believe that UNMIK has ended its mission and that it should not be given a new mandate after Zannier’s departure. The U.S. administration reportedly shares the same opinion and wants UNMIK’s competencies to be transferred over to the European Union.

Schwarzenberg: No EU for Serbia without regional cooperation (dailies)
The Check Minister of Foreign Affairs, Karel Schwarzenberg, said on Tuesday during the meeting with Kosovo’s Foreign Minister Enver Hoxhaj, that Serbia will not be able to become a European Union country without demonstrating regional cooperation.

“I consider that membership in the EU should be made based on the principals of individual prosperity of the countries, however Serbia would have been faster than Kosovo in this respect. Before being accepted as a EU member, according to Copenhagen criteria, it should resolve the problems with its neighbors,” said Schwarzenberg adding that this should be stressed clearly.

He said that even if Serbia does not recognize Kosovo as a state, it should at least as a good neighbor. Schwarzenberg praised progress in Serbia and expressed full support for the dialogue between Pristina and Belgrade.

No "EU for Serbia" without recognizing Kosovo (the existence of its own province...). Well, than no "Kosovo" membership in any international organizations, like - say - UN. Because, 1244 is and will be in force regardless of whether whom-ever stays in Pristina or not. It's just the way it is - UNMIK or no UNMIK, 1244 is here to stay, until Serbia says otherwise.
