answer: The Belgian ambassador, speaking on behalf of six countries (Belgium, Croatia, France, Germany, Italy, and the United States), expressed regret that the Security Council could not agree on how to proceed, noting that this impasse had been evident for many months.  They stated that the day's events (Kosovo's declaration of independence) represented the conclusion of a status process that had exhausted all avenues for a negotiated outcome.
