The following seemed to be Serb Propaganda, at least moderate-nationalist serbians viewpoint which is defintely not neutral.
"It is generally considered that, after five years of work (As of 2004), UNMIK failed in most of these tasks"
This is over-generalisation, without proving this statement that "generally considered UNMIK failed".
Basic civilian administrative functions is performed by local organs which are increasingly getting outside of UNMIK's control;
This, again without the vaild prove that kosovars joint administrators (that are delegated by UNMIK) is out of the UNMIK Out-of-Bound marker.
Establishment of substantial autonomy and self-government in Kosovo is not promoted; rather, all key political factors maintain that full independence of Kosovo as their immediate goal;
While its true that, most opinions views the key political elites are in favour of independence, it is not neutral since after the UNMIK arrived, they had not voice any moves of independence in their public speechs at least. (other than Kosovo crisis, Kosovo war and Milosevic's regime rule, where they did declare their independence). Further more, there is no talks in final status currently. How can we be sure they want independence NOW? or automony NOW? or even a republic in Serbia and Montenegro commonwealth? Unless you prove me wrong by proving from a non-bias realiable source as evidence. PLEASE DON'T ASSUME and jump into conclusion (through assuming).
Other than that the rest are true and neutral IMO.
And please, other people are NPOVing all your articles about Kosovo.... Wikipedia is not for your propaganda. It's peoples' encylopedia. FYI (and some boasting ;> ) By the way I'm singaporean so i'm believe as a citizen of neutral country with multi-racial-and-cultural society i think my points are more neutral than yours with some (not all at least) of your Serbian extremist propaganda. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 165.21.154.15 (talk • contribs) 04:08, 19 September 2004 (UTC)

Everybody,who doesn´t accept UNMIK , but is writing for kosovo, is just making propaganda. it has nothing to do with english language. With people like that, i don t need to have a discussion. If you are able to accept UNMIK, than we can have a discussion.
First of all : UNMIK ! What does it mean ?
UNMIK stands for United Nation Mission in KOSOVO.
In Kosovo ! There are no words for Serbian teritory or things like that. If you would be so nice, to have a look to the homepage from UNMIK, you can see yourself : there are no words for Kosovo in serbian territory . They are just writing " ...in the war-ravaged province of Kosovo... "
Than you can read this :
That means, Kosovo doesn t have a status( it s war - ravaged ! ). It s just a province, administrated by UNMIK,and nothing else. It doesn t belong to any other state or country.
UNMIK is there to help the kosovars to decide for their future.Every other offical reference, like offical serbian - or offical albanian reference, is just propaganda.
From that point of knowledge, our discussion is, like I would say Serbia or Albania is a province in China.
All articles with the subject " Kosovo ", which have to do with information or references BEFORE the 10. june 1999 belongs to the article " History of Kosovo ". In an other case, I ll delete it , because i took it like propaganda and not like neutral information for Wikipedia. People in this discussion, who don t accept UNMIK, aren t neutral. They are living in an own dreamworld, what has nothing to do with reallity and they are using the Wikipedia for their own propaganda.
If somebody think, that I m wrong, please show me. But please argue with informations from an OFFICIAL document, accepted from UNMIK and not with an dokument from national offical propaganda informations.
We can have a disskussion with facts from UNMIK, not with the past. Wikipedia stands for knowledge and shouldn t have to become a place for national propaganda, no matter if it s serbian or albanian propaganda. In other case serbian and albanian people will ravage it, like they ve ravaged Kosovo.--Hipi Zhdripi 20:47, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)
It was so long time, no body has profet the I am wrong.--Hipi Zhdripi 22:31, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
I removed the WP:LE tag because it doesn't seem to fit. Seems better off in UN EMT1871 10:15, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
The figure of 250,000 displaced people from Kosovo is a Serbian government figure - that the UNHCR is obliged to use - and is exaggerated. The European Stability Initiative's 2004 report, The Lausanne Principle: Multiethnicity, Territory and the Future of Kosovo's Serbs http://www.esiweb.org/index.php?lang=tr&id=156&document_ID=53 has controversially estimated that there are perhaps only 65,000 Kosovo Serb IDPs living in Serbia (outside Kosovo). Certainly if there are 130,000 Serbs (the usual estimate) living in Kosovo, that would figure - the 1991 census figure for K Serbs was 195,301 plus 20,045 Montenegrins and it seems probable that numbers declined further after 1991.

Today in Prishtina, the head of Pillar IV, announced that as of the 30th of June 2008 Pillar IV will stop operating and will hand over all of its duties to the government of Kosova. Here is the link in albanian, I am sure they will posted it in english on their site as well.

I did not get why the info box was removed. It contained and gave important info at one glimpse to the fast reader who does not want to get through the whole article to gather the info he wants. --Tubesship (talk) 13:22, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
isnt saying ""representatives of the people of Kosovo" and didn't represent the Assembly itself" not neutral? i think that should be taken out, that is another discusion if they represented Kosovo or not, but this is about the UN mission --Gimelthedog (talk) 12:19, 2 July 2012 (UTC)
The opening sentence read "The United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo or UNMIK was the interim civilian administration in Kosovo, under the authority of the United Nations." That wording refers to UNMIK in the past tense as if it no longer exists. That is not correct. I've made some edits to make clear that it still exists...I've tried to be balanced about it - I don't say UNMIK is running the country/province today, but it is still the UN Mission in Kosovo. It's actual mandate is exactly the same today as it was in 1999. Obviously its day to day role is very different. Frenchmalawi (talk) 19:23, 31 December 2012 (UTC)
Japinderum inserted this into the article again:
At a meeting of the [[Assembly of Kosovo]] most of its members and other representatives of the people of [[Kosovo]], [[International Court of Justice advisory opinion on Kosovo's declaration of independence#Opinion issued|acting outside]] the UNMIK's [[Provisional Institutions of Self-Government|PISG]] framework (not representing the Assembly or any other of these institutions),<ref name="icj-cij.org">[http://www.icj-cij.org/docket/files/141/15987.pdf The identity of the authors of the declaration of independence, ICJ ruling, par.102-109]</ref> ...
However, the source says nothing of the sort. So, I have removed it. Multiple reliable sources put it quite simply; the assembly declared independence. It is unfortunate that several articles have had something very different put in them. bobrayner (talk) 21:57, 7 April 2013 (UTC)
Hi,
UNMIK isn't a country, so why is it given a "country" infobox? One side-effect of using inappropriate infoboxes is that people try to shoehorn values into fields that don't really fit. UNMIK doesn't have its own capital city, coat of arms, currency, or "sovereignty". The latter value is now "UN protectorate over APKiM" which is very different to the reality on the ground. bobrayner (talk) 21:24, 31 August 2014 (UTC)
