130 Mr. G. Mitchell asked the Minister for Foreign Affairs his views on the Schiller Institute document, Peace Through Development for the Balkans; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [15017/99]
I am aware of the Schiller Institute document. I note that, while on the one hand it proposes a number of measures to expedite solutions for Kosovo and the Balkans region, it also proposes a number of additional ideas of much wider implication and geographical application, which would not necessarily be practicable in a short-term framework to address the primary concern of the problems in Kosovo. I also note that it predates the most recent developments there.
