Before leaving for New York, Covic said he would propose "lots of measures to provoke Security Council initiatives for KFOR and UNMIK to finally, after four years, achieve complete security and freedom of movement in Kosovo, an ultimate finale with extremism and terrorism, and the disarming of a large number of people".
Pre nego što je otputovao u Njujork Čović je izjavio da će predložiti «niz mera za podsticanje inicijative Saveta bezbednosti kako bi KFOR i UNMIK konačno, posle četiri godine, ostvarili potpunu bezbednost i slobodu kretanja na Kosovu i definitivno se izborili sa ekstremizmom i terorizmom i razoruzali veliki broj ljudi».
