Serbia's Foreign Minister Ivica Dacic has said that he will take part in a United Nations Security Council (UNSC) meeting on Kosovo on August 21 and a UN conference in Mexico, where he will have important bilateral meetings touching on Kosovo, a few days later.

"Mexico will host the First Conference of States Parties to the Arms Trade Treaty and I have been invited by the minister of foreign affairs of Mexico to attend it. To be present at this meeting is important to us because of bilateral meetings - concerning Kosovo, of course - that will take place there," Dacic said for Belgrade-based daily Politika.

Kosovo’s lobbying is particularly pronounced in that region right now and meeting with representatives from Mexico, Guatemala, Trinidad and Tobago and Jamaica, who will all be there, is therefore very important for us, said Dacic.

Politika points out that Mexico and Trinidad and Tobago are among the 26 (out of 58) UNESCO Executive Board member-countries that have not recognized Kosovo.

The Serbian foreign minister said that he would participate in a regular UN Security Council meeting on the United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo a few days before, on August 21.
