2007 Press Releases

Statement from the Chief of U.S. Office Pristina Tina Kaidanow, June 8, 2007

G8 leaders did not reach any agreement yesterday on President Sarkozy's proposal or another way forward for Kosovo, and reports of an agreement yesterday on a six-month delay are incorrect.  The United States and its European Union partners will continue high-level discussions with Russia and other Security Council members about the need for the Security Council to make a decision soon.  We believe the best way forward is the adoption of a UN Security Council resolution based on Ahtisaari's recommendations.   Intense diplomacy of this kind often takes time.  All parties should remain patient.
