Kosovo President Fatmir Sejdiu and Prime Minister Hashim Thaci reiterated their opposition yesterday to the United Nations' six-point plan about the deployment of European Union's Rule of Law Mission (EULEX) in Kosovo.

At a joint press conference in Pristina, Sejdiu and Thaci said Kosovo institutions made clear their position on Nov. 18 (with their own four-point document) against UN six-point plan.

"The same refusal position we have even today," said Sejdiu.

Kosovo leaders claim the UN plan is against the Kosovo Constitution and Comprehensive Status Proposal of UN status envy Martti Ahtisaari.

"We are convinced this plan violates the sovereignty of the Republic of Kosovo," said Sejdiu.

They called on Kosovo's international friends to make clear EULEX will be deployed in coordination with Kosovo institutions.

The UN Security Council will in New York late yesterday discuss the report of the UN secretary-general on the reconfiguration of the UN mission in Kosovo (UNMIK), which represents a confirmation of the agreement the UN and Belgrade had reached on the six-point plan.

The six-point plan arranges the aspects of customs, police, border controls, justice, transport and Serb religious heritage in Kosovo.

Having been run by the UNMIK by nearly nine years, ethnic Albanian-majority Kosovo unilaterally declared independence in February despite strong opposition from Serbia and Kosovo's ethnic Serbs.

Sejdiu said Kosovo is in favor of EULEX deployment in whole Kosovo territory but in accordance with Pristina's document respecting Kosovo's sovereignty and territorial integrity.

Thaci appealed for a calm response to this development.

"Any other response to this will serve in the interest of groups interested in provoking Kosovo," said Thaci.

The UN six-point plan has caused concern in Kosovo, with opposition and civil society supporting local leaders in refusing the plan.

All local parties believe it may led to partition of the territory, but western ambassadors in Pristina claim the plan should be accepted, saying it is in the interest of Kosovo.
