UN Secretary-General reaffirms his confidence in his Special Representative in Kosovo
The statement follows allegations recently levelled against Dr. Kouchner by Yugoslav authorities and which the Spokesman, Fred Eckhard, described as "malicious."
The Secretary-General views these allegations as a "transparent attempt at character assassination which have no basis and deserve no attention", Mr. Eckhard said.
The Secretary-General reaffirms his total confidence in Dr. Kouchner and commends the extraordinary efforts he has undertaken to create a just and civil society in Kosovo under difficult and demanding conditions, Mr. Eckhard said.
