U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon's Special Representative Lamberto Zannier reports that the "UNMIK faces ever-increasing challenges to its ability to fulfill its mandate."
"There is a perception among many Kosovo Albanians that the Mission 's tasks have been accomplished and its continued presence is an unwelcome obstacle to the desire for Kosovo to function as a sovereign State. The Kosovo authorities, who have been under significant pressure from opposition parties, have repeatedly stated during the past months that resolution 1244 (1999) is no longer relevant and that the institutions of Kosovo have no legal obligation to abide by it," the report claims.
