In his report the international lawyer calls Kosovo a "black hole" in Europe and the world as regards the observance of human rights. BELGRADE, JULY 10 /FROM RIA NOVOSTI'S ALEXANDER SLABYNKO/ - Human rights are not observed in Kosovo, said in Kosovo ombudsman Marek Novicki said in Pristina Wednesday. He was presenting a regular report on the situation in Kosovo. Novicki accused Mihael Steiner, head of the United Nations civilian mission, and his staffers of creating a "surrogate state" in Kosovo. Since the establishment of a provisional international administration in Kosovo, the UN mission has not been sticking to democratic principles, taking only decisions in favour of its staffers, paying no regard to the needs of citizens of Kosovo, he said. To Novicki, the plight of ethnic minorities, above all Serbs is particularly grave. Human rights, security and freedom of travel are not guaranteed to them. At the same time, responsibility for the situation will gradually be transferred on the newly elected government of Kosovo, believes the lawyer.
