Summary
Calls for the United States to: (1) support the independence of Kosova and the establishment of Kosova as a sovereign and democratic state in which human rights are respected as the only way to lasting peace and stability in the Balkans; (2) recognize the danger that delay in the resolution of Kosova's final status poses for the political and economic viability of Kosova and the future of Southeast Europe; (3) work in conjunction with the United Nations, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, and other multilateral organizations to facilitate an orderly transition to the independence of Kosova; and (4) provide its share of assistance, trade, and other programs to support the government of an independent Kosova and to encourage the further development of democracy and a free market economic system.
