Billy Timmins (Wicklow, Fine Gael)

I thank the Minister of State but I am not fully satisfied with his reply; perhaps there is more information in the part he did not read out. What is the Government's policy on the future status of Kosovo? The Minister for Foreign Affairs, Deputy Dermot Ahern, stated Europe would be united on the issue. Will there be agreement on it by 10 December? Will there be a united European position? It is probable that a unilateral declaration of independence will be made in Kosovo. Will the Government support it? What will be the implications for Irish participation in KFOR of the probable unilateral declaration?
