[01] Cyprus supports a peaceful resolution of the Kosovo crisis

President Clerides said yesterday that the Cyprus government supports a peaceful resolution of the Kosovo crisis. In a brief statement after receiving the salute at the Greek Independence Day Parade in Nicosia, President Clerides said that "Kosovo should remain within Yugoslav borders, with some form of autonomy for its administration".

He added that it is time the Security Council got more involved in the Kosovo issue.

Moreover Foreign Minister Ioannis Kassoulides also called for a more active UN role.

In a written statement earlier, President of the House of Representatives Spyros Kyprianou stated that: "International law dictates that countries must not resort to the use of force and that any international action of this kind must first be supported with a relevant decision of the organs of the United Nations".

The President of the Republic Mr Glafcos Clerides stressed yesterday that the 1821 Greek Revolution against Ottoman rule constitutes a source of inspiration in Cyprus' struggle for justice and freedom.

In congratulatory messages sent to Greece's President and Prime Minister Messrs Constantinos Stephanopoulos and Costas Simitis, on the occasion of Greek Independence Day, President Clerides said that Cyprus is inspired by the example set by the heroes of the Greek Revolution in its struggle for national survival, justice and freedom. President Clerides in his messages expressed his gratitude for Greece's unwavering support to the struggle of Cyprus.
