I was not a typical international civil servant I confess -- ask the Kosovo Albanians, ask the Serbs,
we have been making real progress, significant steps toward stability and democracy. ... The world did not intervene to make Kosovo safe for revenge and intolerance.
This outrageous act against innocent civilians puts in danger all efforts at democracy in Kosovo. I deplore this crime which occurred in an area where our efforts at retaining a multi-ethnic society in Kosovo has been so intensively focused.
