Javier Solana Security Quotations

Now we have the most important security presence in the Middle East ever taken by the European Union ... We are entering also the security aspect.

If the situation continues ... we will go the Security Council but we will have to discuss that today.

I am deeply concerned by the current security situation in Kosovo. Violent incidents over the last few days have again led to loss of life and pose a grave risk to the cease-fire,

I think the position now is what we have said, ...which is to have a decision to call for an extraordinary meeting in Vienna of the (IAEA) agency and then to refer the dossier to the Security Council.

Today's message to Baghdad is very clear: the UN Security Council resolution expresses the unity and determination of the entire international community to assume its collective responsibility.

I would like to see that the members of the Security Council recognize that Milosevic is not complying with the previous resolution and that a very clear message has to be given to President Milosevic that he has to stop immediately and comply with the U.N. resolution,

We would like to see humanitarian aid arriving without difficulty from the European Union ... the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe should be able to enter and play their role.

No, what we are doing today is a reflection on what may happen if at the end of the day what is going (on) now in the (U.N.) Security Council does fail.

Europe will stay engaged in all fields, economically, politically and in the security field.

The paper on Iran is a paper of reflection. As you know the situation of Iran today is in the Security Council. It has been a statement by the Presidency of Council last month.

This announcement is very bad news, but the timing of action by the international community remains that agreed by the UN Security Council.

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

Checkpoints have been dismantled, and in addition most police and military units normally based elsewhere in Yugoslavia have left Kosovo. The security forces are returning to the level they were at before the present crisis began,

All UN resolutions should be implemented and everybody should cooperate with the UN Security Council and the United Nations.

This has to be resolved in the Security Council

What the European Union has decided is that the place where this has to be resolved is in the Security Council.

We are very concerned by the serious deterioration of the security situation in Gaza.
