Slovenia's Foreign Minister Dmitrij Rupel told the United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon that partition of Kosovo will lead to ethnic cleansing of Serbs that are dispursed across municipalities.

"Serbs don't only live in Mitrovica but also elsewhere, and we by all means want to avoid new ethnic cleansing," Rupel said.

Rupel said that UN should do utmost to prevent ethnic cleansing and to achieve that partition should be avoided.

Rupel said that 60% of Serbs in Kosovo are scattered throughout with little freedom of movement and are under constant guard of NATO troops in order to stop Kosovo Albanians from slaughtering them.

A partition of northern part of Kosovo would expose these Serbs to Kosovo Albanian violence noted Rupel.

Ban and Rupel are both waiting election results in Serbia in order to plot further course.
