BELGRADE -- The Federal Republic of Yugoslavia does not recognize the illegal and illegitimate documents adopted by the head of the U.N. Civilian Mission in Kosovo and Metohija, Bernard Kouchner, and views such documents as null and void, Yugoslav Telecommunications Minister Ivan Markovic told Belgrade Radio on Friday.
Markovic set out that Kouchner acted in a completely unauthorized manner contrary to U.N. Security Council Resolution 1244 by adopting a decree on providing postal and telecommunications services in Kosovo and Metohija.
According to Markovic, this represents an attempt to sieze the property of the Telecom Serbia company and to prevent its activities in this part of Serbia.
Markovic demanded that Telecom Serbia, just like the Telecommunications Ministry, instigates proceedings before international courts for the protection of the rights of the employees and property of domestic and foriegn shareholders.
Markovic stated that he had informed the general secretary of the International Telecommunications Union, Yoshio Uchumi, about Kouchner's gross violation of Yugoslavia's sovereignty in the telecommunications sphere.
Markovic reiterated the demand by the Yugoslav Telecommunications Ministry for a halt to the jamming from abroad of Yugoslav radio and television stations.
