". – I had an opportunity to discuss that issue with the Swedish Foreign Minister, Anna Lindh, in the presidency of the Council, and the High Representative with KFOR, in Pristina about ten days ago, with the Special Representative, Mr Hakerup who is doing such an excellent job and also with KFOR and the KFOR commander. They assured us that they were stepping up security on the border.
It is, like a lot of borders, difficult to give cast iron guarantees of security about the ability to pass from one side to the other. It is very mountainous terrain as the honourable Member probably knows but nevertheless I am sure that KFOR need to continue to do more. They are committing more troops. They are making a greater effort. It is essential that they do because there is no doubt at all that there have been people moving backwards and forwards across the border and the political consequences in the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia of movement of extremists from Kosovo into Macedonia make what has been a difficult crisis for them to face even more political and therefore even more awkward.
So yes, I hope KFOR will be able to do more. We have certainly had a dialogue with them about that and I very much hope that the assurances they have been given will be manifested on the ground. It is a difficult job but one which I hope they will be able to do even better."@en1
