Russia complains of Kosovo’s presence at the UN summit (Koha)
Russia’s UN ambassador Vitaly Churkin, complained about the presence of Kosovo representatives at a counter-terrorism summit organised by the United States on Tuesday, saying the UN building was under the “command” of US President Barack Obama. ”They (Kosovo officials) are sitting in the hall together with other UN members,” Churkin told reporters. “It is not correct, of course. To hold such meetings on UN premises means they have no respect for the UN ... this is beyond UN rules,” said the Russian envoy.
