Kosovo's Final Status Endgame: A Challenge for Europe's Security and Stability

On May 11, 2007 Janusz Bugajski and Ambassador Alexandros Mallias led a lunch discussion on Kosovo’s looming final status resolution and its long-term impact on the region.

The UN Security Council has begun discussing the recommendations of UN envoy Martti Ahtisaari on the future of Kosovo. Recently, a 15-member delegation of representatives of all UN Security Council member-states undertook a fact-finding mission to Belgrade and Prishtina. Mallias and Bugajski reviewed these developments and discussed the UNSC vote on Kosovo’s international status, Russia’s position, as well as the Euro-Atlantic prospects for the broader region.
