作為聯(lián)合國婦女發(fā)展基金會的親善大使，妮可·基德曼對自己的職責(zé)沒有絲毫懈怠。在參加了羅馬電影節(jié)開幕式并揭幕自己新片《皮毛》之后，妮可于上周日抵達科索沃并拜訪了當(dāng)?shù)孛癖姡拔业竭@里考察，希望在關(guān)乎國家未來的緊要時期，能對貴國有所幫助”。科索沃形式上屬于塞爾維亞的一個轄區(qū)，基德曼此次對該省的訪問恰逢一個敏感期，阿爾巴尼亞人和塞爾維亞人正在就科索沃未來地位的問題進行磋商。阿方要求完全獨立成一個擁有200人口省份，但塞方則堅持要求科索沃應(yīng)該歸屬于其主權(quán)管理之下。 |

| Australian actress Nicole Kidman waves to
locals as she visits western Kosovo town of Djakovica on Sunday,
Oct. 15, 2006. |
Nicole Kidman is playing a role that has nothing to do with movies,
touring Kosovo as a United Nations goodwill
ambassador to the tense province.
"I'm here ... to learn so that I can help your country at this crucial,
crucial time for the future," Kidman said after arriving Saturday, "to
meet people, hear their stories and educate myself, and I suppose be a
voice for you if you need it."
The actress was named goodwill ambassador of the U.N. Development Fund
for Women, or UNIFEM, in January and the tour of Kosovo is her first visit
in that role.
Kidman's two-day visit comes at a sensitive time as ethnic Albanians and Serbs are negotiating the
status of Kosovo. Ethnic Albanians want full independence for the province
of 2 million, while Serbia insists Kosovo should remain under its
sovereignty.
Kosovo formally remains part of Serbia but has been run by a U.N.
mission since mid-1999, when NATO forced Serb forces to halt a crackdown
on independence-seeking ethnic Albanians.
