Dacic: International presence still necessary in Kosovo (KIM radio, Tanjug)
Serbia's Foreign Minister Ivica Dacic said in New York that his country considers that international presence is still necessary in Kosovo, adding he urges further quarterly reporting by the UN Security Council on the situation in Kosovo.
It is very important for Serbia that the UNSC continuously monitors developments in Kosovo. We advocate keeping the institution of quarterly reporting, although some countries advocate reports twice a year, Dacic said after a UNSC session,
All participants of the meeting noted as important to form the Association/Community of Serbian municipalities as soon as possible, as this is the priority in implementing the Brussels agreement, he said.
All UNSC member countries insisted on the speedy formation of a special court for war crimes in Kosovo committed by the so-called Kosovo Liberation Army, in connection with the report of (former Council of Europe Rapporteur) Dick Marty, Dacic pointed out.
Serbia's position is that such sessions should continue to take place, the foreign minister stressed.
