Reiterating its full support for the "standards before status" policy, the Security Council stressed the need for meeting benchmarks in eight key areas: functioning of democratic institutions, rule of law, freedom of movement, return of refugees and internally displaced persons, the economy, property rights, dialogue with Belgrade, and the Kosovo Protection Corps.
Potvrdivsi punu podršku politici «standardi pre statusa», Savet bezbednosti je istakao potrebu za ispunjavanjem ciljeva u osam ključnih oblasti: funkcionisanja demokratskih institucija, vladavine zakona, slobode kretanja, povratka izbeglica i privremeno raseljenih lica, ekonomije, imovinskih prava, dijaloga sa Beogradom i Kosovskog zaštitnog korpusa.
