Abstract

document of the mandate, the Security Council resolution accepted by the "old" state, clearly rejects Kosovo's Albanians' claim to complete indepen- dence. The aim is "substantial self government, taking full account of the Rambouillet accords and the principles of sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia ..." Thus, it is quite clear that the trustor is Yugoslavia. Whether this legal situation is politically viable, is another question. The continued recognition of Yugoslavia's de jurn sovereignty over Kosovo does not mean that the admin- istration has to tolerate or accept the acts of Yugoslavian or Serbian public authorities as applicable or enforceable in the Kosovo. For the time being, pro- visionally but nevertheless effectively, the UN administration has displaced the sovereign authority of the "old" state. The links which bind Kosovo to Yugoslavia are modified by the man- date of the administration established by the Security Council and accepted by Yugoslavia. Thus, it is highly ques- tionable whether the administration had to tolerate the conduct of elections for the central organs of Yugoslavia in the territory. 6.
