    Kosovo is Sui Generis Case: Heads of UN and OSCE Missions in Kosovo

    TREND Information, Azerbaijan
    March 1 2008

    Azerbaijan, Baku, 29 February / corr. TrendNews K. Ramazanova/ UN
    (United Nations) and OSCE (Organization for Security and Cooperation
    in Europe) believes the Kosovo case is sui generis and that it cannot
    be a precedent for the solution of other conflicts.

    "Kosovo is a sui generis case and cannot set a precedent," Joachim
    Rucker, the special representative of the UN General Secretary in
    Kosovo said to TrendNews via electronic mail from Kosovo

    Kosovo unilaterally declared its independence from Serbia on 17
    February. US and several EU countries recognized its independence.

    Russia called the unilateral declaration of Kosovo as contradicting
    international law. The majority of CIS countries including Georgia
    and Azerbaijan support Russia's position.

    "Kosovo cannot be a precedent for the other conflicts including
    Nagorno-Karabakh," Rucker said.

    Tim Guldimann, the head of the OSCE mission also said that Kosovo is a
    sui generis issue and therefore there is a need to view it separately
    from other issues.

    "The Mission of OSCE has a neutral status and therefore did not have
    a position in the status process for Kosovo," Tim Guldimann said to
    TrendNews via electronic mail from Kosovo on 29 February.
