National broadcaster Radio Television of Serbia (RTS) reports this morning that Serbian Foreign Minister Ivica Dacic said in New York that Pristina officials abused the Peace Mission in Kosovo by acquiring through it passes for UN.
Their “diplomacy” is taking place in the corridors, the Serbian minister points out, assessing the actions of Pristina’s representatives as “disgrace”.
At the United Nations building, there are top world officials, representatives of UN members. Dacic explained to the RTS that in what capacity the Kosovo representatives were there.
“They have 41 representatives here, and Ana Brnabic and me, besides us, seven more. They (Kosovo representatives) are not officially invited, they cannot enter the meeting rooms, but they are in the corridors. The news that they publish, it’s news about somebody met someone in the hallway,” Dacic told RTS.
He recalled yesterday’s situation when Kosovo representatives approached the Moroccan prime minister, and then announced, on twitter, that establishing diplomatic relations had been discussed.
“I was called by the Moroccan minister right away, they were shocked, they wrote a denial. Everything they do is shameful,” said Dacic.
Yesterday, the minister from Oman, and today from Uganda, which are on Pristina’s list of those who recognized Kosovo’s independence, said yesterday that they never did so. The same thing was said by the minister from Lesotho.
“I will talk to all of them, I have scheduled talks with 84 countries, from 193. It is not difficult for me, it is my main political activity. A series of bilateral meetings with those who recognized Kosovo’s independence to re-examine this decision, that is, those who did not recognize to consolidate its position,” Dacic said.
Like last year, Serbia also protested the presence of a delegation from Kosovo.
“They abuse the peace mission in Kosovo and ask for passes through the Department of Peacekeeping Operations, on which is written “O” that means ”others”, that is, others who not officially members of the UN, no officials. They have requested 41 passes, and three representatives of the Department are following them, to control what they are doing,” explained Dacic.
