BELGRADE - The International Union for Telecommunications has sent to the U.N. Civilian Mission in Kosovo and Metohija a response to the Mission's request for a special, international telephone code for Kosovo andd Metohija, the Yugoslav Ministry of Telecommunications said Wednesday.
The International Union for Telecommunications, referring to the regulations of that international organization, said in its response that the request of the U.N. Civilian Mission in Kosovo and Metohija cannot be taken into consideration.
It was stressed that a request for a telephone code can be made only by a country recognized by the International Union for Telecommunications, or the United Nations, and that is why Kosovo and Metohija cannot have a special telephone code.
It was noted that only the competent authorities of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, as a sovereign country, can pursue contacts with the International Union for Telecommunications, the statement said.
