Mr. Speaker, I understand, but we were told just 48 hours ago that it was pointless to raise such possibilities. Today, we are being told the opposite.
We were also told that it was pointless to raise the issue at the security council, since Russia and China are opposed to any diplomatic settlement that would include the withdrawal of Milosevic's troops from Kosovo.
It just so happens that the Chinese premier is here for a week. Could the minister tell us if the government intends to discuss the German proposal with the Chinese Prime Minister, to convince him of the need to have the UN security council examine this peace plan?
