MOSCOW -- Russia's permanent U.N. representative Ambassador Sergei Lavrov said Wednesday that weapons and narcotics were pouring into the Yugoslav province of Kosovo and Metohija via the border with Macedonia which he said was practically unguarded.
Illustrating his thesis that the escalation of international terrorism and crime via hotspots is a major problem faced by the modern world, Lavrov told Itar-Tass news agency that the case of Kosovo and Metohija proved this in the best way possible.
The Russian Foreign Ministry has announced that the Russian delegation will demand in a session of the U.N. General Assembly that the Security Council resolution on the demilitarisation of the ethnic Albanian terrorist organisation calling itself Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) be consistently implemented, which means that KLA must be fully disarmed and its arms dumps eliminated.
Russia will also raise the issue of anti-terrorist activity and the fight against crime in general, which is an issue with which a large number of countries are faced, Lavrov said.
