I want to express my personal commitment to continue to strive for a positive contribution of the European Union to lasting peace in the region.
I am deeply concerned by the current security situation in Kosovo. Violent incidents over the last few days have again led to loss of life and pose a grave risk to the cease-fire,
NATO is ready for its new mission -- a mission to bring people back to their homes and to build a lasting and just peace in Kosovo,
This is the last chance, and I would like to make a call for negotiations in good will to solve this tragedy,
The paper on Iran is a paper of reflection. As you know the situation of Iran today is in the Security Council. It has been a statement by the Presidency of Council last month.
I strongly condemn the death of innocent civilians in last night's attack against Gaza.
In forcing people to leave, the Bosnian Serb authorities have behaved abominably, and the actions of the Federation authorities have been far from reassuring,
That is the time in which they have to clarify all these things. If we have not got any sign that they move in that direction it will be very difficult.
They have to think, they have to return to negotiating ? the temperature has to be lowered.
I want to tell them that they have a place, without any doubt, among the family of the European nations.
Once again, the European Union recalls that it is absolutely against terror and that these actions kill the hopes of peace.
The continuation of violence will affect the fledging stability of the region as a powerful deterrent to direct foreign aid,
I hope very much this event, the death of Milosevic, will help Serbia to look definitely to the future.
Images of burned hopes and destroyed villages recall scenes we had hoped we would never see again, ... Milosevic must know there is no place for his policy in Europe on the eve of the 21st century.
