HL Deb 29 November 2000 vol 619 c144WA
Lord Moynihan

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What is their policy on the future final status of Kosovo; and whether they would support independence for Kosovo. [HL4733]

Baroness Scotland of Asthal

UNSCR 1244 makes it clear that Kosovo is currently part of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (FRY), but leaves its final status open. It will be up to the representatives of the residents of Kosovo, and the authorities in Belgrade, to agree on final status in due course, with the support of the international community.
