New UN Envoy for Kosovo guides transition there

The new UN Envoy for Kosovo arrived in the capital Pristina this week to take up his duties as the UN mission there, known as UNMIK, undergoes a period of transition.

UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has proposed changes to the UN presence there in the wake of Kosovo's decision in February to declare its independence from Serbia. In an interview with Sven Lindholm of Radio Ophelia, the UN Radio station in Kosovo, the new Special Representative Lamberto Zannier (photo) of Italy said he sees his role as helping to maintain peace, security and stability during this period of transition.
