Monday, September 10, 2012, marked the end of supervised independence
of the Republic of Kosovo, a European country with a population of 2
million, and the beginning of its status as a fully sovereign state. The
ceremonies featured a keynote address by a former UN Envoy for Kosovo,
President Martti Ahtisaari of Finland, an architect of the March 26, 2007,
Comprehensive Proposal for the Kosovo Status Settlement which now came to
its completion.
In his speech at Monday's special session of the Kosovo Parliament,
President Ahtisaari stated: "Five years ago I offered to the Secretary-
General of the United Nations a blueprint for a sovereign, multi-ethnic
democracy called Kosovo. Today we celebrate the full and final adoption
of the principles and structures of that blueprint into the institutions,
the processes, and the legal framework of an independent, functioning
state."
Pursuant to the Settlement Proposal, an International Steering Group
(ISG) - consisting of twenty-five countries - was formed to oversee and
guide the development of good governance, multi-ethnicity and rule of law
in Kosovo. The ISG has now completed its duties, allowing Kosovo to
continue with full sovereignty and the management of its own affairs as
a member of the world community.
This is now the overall state of affairs regarding Kosovo's formal
status, which enables the country to pursue its chosen course independently
into the future. Kosovo is now an independent country, which must be
honored as such.
As of today, a total of 91 countries, including most of the industrialized
world, such as USA, Japan, Germany, the United Kingdom and France along
with the Benelux and Nordic countries, have recognized the Republic of
Kosovo. These powers have endorsed the final settlement, the fulfilment
of which is now celebrated in Kosovo's capital Prishtina.
An Amateur Radio working group headed by IARU Region 1 President Hans
Blondeel Timmerman, PB2T, and including IARU Region 1 Executive Committee
Member Nikola Percin, 9A5W, and Mission Goodwill Kosovo Coordinator Martti
Laine, OH2BH, together with their associates are in the final stages of
assisting Kosovo's Telecom Authorities in drafting regulations governing
Amateur Radio in Kosovo, to bring the original Kosovar operators and their
revitalized Amateur Radio Association back to the international community.
