Javier Solana Rep Quotations

I have repeated my appeal to both sides to exercise maximum restraint and renew their security cooperation on a systematic basis.

I am delighted in particular that the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) has now made a strategic choice to take the path of cooperation, and has reaffirmed the central importance of the Non-Proliferation Treaty and the International Atomic Energy Agency in underpinning global security.

They have repeated their arguments but the substantive position has not changed.

If the use of military force, or the threat of use of military force, is necessary to bring about a political solution, NATO is prepared to do it,

On Kosovo, let me be quite clear that NATO will not stand idly by. We will not allow a repeat of the situation of 1991 in Bosnia,

The unilateral cease-fire proposed by the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and the government of Serbia is clearly insufficient.

I would like to repeat it: the respect for the people that belong to this land is total. The respect to any religion is total.

We have only prepared the ground. If it is possible to continue? .... it's not clear yet. We have to wait until the speech.

will not tolerate a return to all-out fighting and a policy of repression in Kosovo.

We have to stop leaders who are not prepared to look to the future, who continue to look to the past, who are not prepared to look to the 21st century and continue to do terrible things to their people,

NATO is preparing to go further if required to halt the violence and protect the civilian populations (in Kosovo),

to initiate a broader range of air operations in the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.

EU foreign ministers agreed on Monday that member states will be producing a report on East Jerusalem that will be ready for the December 12 (foreign affairs) council meeting. This is not the final document. Work is still ongoing,

I am delighted ... that the Democratic People's Republic of Korea has now made a strategic choice to take the path of co-operation.

This report is not true. We are going to continue with the same strategy, the strategy of the air campaign,

The solution of this problem is not only military, the solution has to be political.... We are prepared for the possibility of helping with a cease-fire,
