UN envoy to Kosovo concedes drastic cut of his powers

UNITED NATIONS (AFP) — The head of the UN mission in Kosovo (UNMIK) conceded Friday that his legal authority in the ethnic Albanian majority territory had been drastically curtailed since a new constitution went into force last month.
"Since the entry into force of the Kosovo constitution, exercising my legal powers under UN Security Council resolution 1244 has become increasingly difficult in practice," Lamberto Zannier told the Security Council.
"My power to impose solutions throughout much of the territory has in practice disappeared," he added during a debate on Kosovo.
A new constitution went into force last June in Kosovo, where the ethnic Albanian majority unilaterally declared independence from Serbia on February 17.
