Whether and how close is Pristina to the UNESCO membership, it could be known in November next year, if they re-submit the proposal to the General Assembly of this organization.
Pristina authorities, after last year’s fiasco at the GA UNESCO, have started at the same time a new offensive lobbying for the next General Assembly, which is held every two years. In the meantime Pristina acquired support of some countries and of some has lost. The situation is still uncertain.
Serbian Ambassador to UNESCO Darko Tanasković told Novosti that Serbia will do everything to prevent again the request of Kosovo in this organization.
– The current geopolitical developments in the world, as well as the current priorities in the UNESCO, do not suit the Kosovo’s authorities at this time. Next year is elections of the new Director-General of the organization instead of Irina Bokova. There are other challenges, such as the difficult financial situation – says a well-informed source from UNESCO for Večernje Novosti.
