Reeker, Deputy Spokesman Washington, DC October 2, 2002 Seven Point Plan for Resolving Ethnic Divisions in Mitrovica, KosovoYesterday, October 1, the United Nations Secretary General's Special Representative in Kosovo, Michael Steiner, took an important step toward healing one of the most serious wounds remaining from the Kosovo conflict. Ambassador Steiner proposed a seven-point plan to end the ethnic division of Mitrovica, a northern Kosovo city that has symbolized the lingering antagonism between ethnic Serbian and Albanian communities throughout Kosovo. The United States strongly supports Ambassador Steiner’s plan.
