EULEX spokesperson Karin Lindale has said that the report on the first three months of the European Union's mission in Kosovo has been presented to the Union, which will forward it to the United Nations.

"It depends on the UN whether that report will be part of the report the body's secretary general will put forward at a session of the UN Security Council scheduled for March 23", Lindale said in an interview broadcasted by the BBC Albanian service, adding that EULEX representatives would not take part in that session.
In addressing the Security Council, (UNMIK Chief Lamberto) Zanier is expected to focus on the efforts that should be made to enable a dialogue between Pristina and Belgrade on the six-item plan of the UN secretary general.
Kosovo Foreign Minister Skender Hiseni announced that at the SC session, he would demand a termination of UNMIK's mandate, which Belgrade opposes since it finds the body to be the only legitimate representative of the UN in Kosovo.
Belgrade insists on a full implementation of the six-item plan issued by UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon.
The six points define the status of Serbs living in those parts of Kosovo where they represent a majority, and they refer to the issue of police, judiciary, customs tax collection, traffic, infrastructure and protection of the Serbian cultural heritage.
