MEPs strongly back Martti Ahtisaari’s proposal on Kosovo, call for it to be put under “supervised sovereignty”

The European Parliament gave its full support 29 March 2007 to the Ahtisaari proposal for a status settlement for the province of Kosovo, stating that 'sovereignty supervised by the international community is the best option' for securing the objectives of a peaceful, self-sustaining Kosovo. The report also reaffirmed the European perspective of both Serbia and Kosovo, and called for the EU to play a central role in the current international negotiations for a settlement.
