Noting the measures already taken by UN Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK) and KFOR, the international peacekeeping force, "in good cooperation" to ensure adequate security for all Kosovars, Council members expressed their support for the "ongoing intensified efforts to this end." They also called upon UN Member States to provide UNMIK with the personnel and financial resources it still requires.
The Council will continue to follow the situation in Kosovo closely, Ambassador Petrella said, pointing out that the issue is again on the Council's agenda for next Wednesday.
