Proceeding contribution from Lord Ashdown of Norton-sub-Hamdon (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Monday, 11 December 2006. It occurred during Question for short debate on Kosovo.
Kosovo
My Lords, the Minister’s two statements have been extremely welcome to many who will be watching this debate. He talked about there being no redrawing of borders. In this febrile atmosphere, there really are people in Banja Luka, and I believe high up in Belgrade, who still entertain the idea that there might be some exchange of the Republika Srpska for Kosovo. Will the Minister make it clear that Her Majesty’s Government and the international community will tolerate no such thing? Does he not believe that it would be useful to get a statement from Belgrade and Banja Luka that they adhere to the Dayton agreement, that they reconfirm that they see no redrawing of borders, and that there can be no question of any transfer of territory along those lines?
