U.S. "welcomes border demarcation" 


WASHINGTON: The United States has welcomed "establishment of relations between 
Pristina and Skopje and successful completion of the border demarcation”.

“The U.S. warmly welcomes the establishing of the diplomatic relations between 
the Republic of Kosovo and the Republic of Macedonia as well as successful 
completion of the demarcation of their joint border,” said State Department 
spokesman Ian Kelly.

Kelly also stated that Washington was praising International Civilian Office 
(ICO) and its chief, headed by EU's special representative in Kosovo, for their 
role of mediator in completion of the demarcation line, “an important element” 
of Martti Ahtisaari’s plan. 

Serbia objects to the marking of the country's border line with Macedonia in 
the part which is concerning Kosovo. 

Official Belgrade and Skopje signed an agreement on the issue in 2001, which 
was later approved at the UN.
