The UK, the US and Germany called on the UN Security Council during the Monday's meeting on Kosovo, to strategically revise the UNMIK mission, praising it for the job done so far, while Russia demanded an apology from Pristina for the treatment of its UN member, the FoNet news agency reported on Monday.

The US representative said Washington was concerned about the tensions between Pristina and Belgrade, adding both sides should go back to the dialogue on normalisation of relations.

Statement by First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Ivica Dačić at the UN Security Council session on UNMIK's work:

Mr. President,
Distinguished Members of the Security Council,

I thank Secretary-General Guterres and Special Representative Tanin for the efforts they invest in implementing the mandate of the United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK) under United Nations Security Council Resolution (UNSCR) 1244 (1999).

NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg told Belgrade based daily Politika that peace and stability in Kosovo has been a priority for this alliance for past 20 years and that the UN mandate for the NATO peacekeeping mission remains unchanged.

On the twentieth anniversary of the adoption of Resolution 1244 in the UN Security Council in New York, the latest UN report will be presented, while Foreign Minister Ivica Dacic will point out the need to continuously review the Kosovo issue at the Council's meetings and the consistent implementation of the UNMIK and KFOR mission, report state broadcaster RTS.

The United Nations Security Council in New York will discuss today the UN Secretary General's Report on the work of UNMIK, reported Serbian media.

The focus of the session will be the latest action by Kosovo special forces in the north of Kosovo, including the arrest and assault on UN Mission personnel.

Foreign Affairs Minister Ivica Dacic will represent Serbia at the UN Security Council session on Monday, when the report of the General Secretary on the work of the UN Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK) from January 16 to May 15 will be discussed, the Ministry said on Sunday.

Foreign Minister Ivica Dacic met with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov in St Petersburg about the situation in Kosovo, prior to the June 10 session of the UN Security Council.

Dacic told reporters in St. Petersburg, where he is taking part in the International Economic Forum, that he introduced in detail the plan of Serbia on the issue of Kosovo to Lavrov, and that the head of Russian diplomacy told him that Moscow absolutely supported Serbia and that the support would be clearly expressed and at a session of the UN Security Council on Monday.

On the second day of the visit to Berlin, the delegation of the Serbian List, the President Goran Rakic, Vice President Dalibor Jevtic and members of the Presidency Bratislav Nikolic and Sasa Milosavljevic spoke with Advisor to German Chancellor Matthias Lüttenberg.

Ivica Dacic, Serbia’s Foreign Minister, told Russian Sputnik news agency he did not destroy the 100 dollars banknote by writing “Kosovo is Serbia” on it, nor did he insult Benjamin Franklin, an American polymath and one of the Founding Fathers of the US, but followed Franklin’s essential idea, who also had a wise message that "he who has patience can have what he wants", the Belgrade based FoNet news agency reported.

The US embassy condemned Dacic’s “Internet challenge” with the message written in Cyrillic over the dollar banknote.

In an interview with the Belgrade-based Prva TV, Serbia’s President Aleksandar Vucic said he believed the demarcation with Kosovo was “absolutely the healthiest solution for Serbia and the Serbs,” but added the people would not accept it, the Beta news agency reported on Thursday.

Vucic said a referendum on the issue would be held if he had something to tell the people, but that currently there was no suggestion.
