(MENAFN- Kuwait News Agency (KUNA)) NEW YORK, June 11 (KUNA) -- Kuwait acknowledged the importance of continuous international calls upon Belgrade and Pristina to overcome their disputes and reach an agreement for sake of regional peace.
This was brought up by the Permanent Representative of Kuwait to the UN Ambassador Mansour Al-Otaibi during the Security Council session on Kosovo yesterday night (late on Monday).
In his speech, Ambassador Al-Otaibi called on two sides to exercise restraint, calm and address issues of concern through dialogue, and demonstrate the necessary political will to ensure full normalization of relations between the two sides.
Kosovo police, ordered by the court, searched and monitored areas throughout Kosovo, mainly in the Zubin Potok municipality, to combat corruption and crime, which led to the arrest of a United Nations Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK) member that Kosovo's government described him as an undesirable person, Al-Otaibi said.
He underlined respecting the diplomatic immunity enjoyed by the UN staff under the Vienna Convention on diplomatic relations as well as the neutrality and commitment to their mandate.
Al-Otaibi welcomed the Balkan conference, which was called for by both Germany and France last April, urging both sides to resume dialogue and implement the Belgrade and Pristina agreements.
The ongoing work of the UNMIK collaborating with the UN Kosovo Team (UNKT) to implement the joint recommendations of the UN Trust-building Forum in Kosovo in May 2018 was also welcomed, he said adding that Kuwait fully supports EU's efforts in Brussels to settle outstanding issues between Belgrade and Pristina.
Kuwait realizes the right of each state to form its national institutions in accordance with its constitution and national legislation as Kosovo's decision does not contradict with the UN resolution 1244. (end)
