The United Nations Security Council will debate today the quarterly developments in Kosovo, from 16 July to 15 October of this year.

The report of the UN Secretary General, Antonio Guterres, which will serve as grounds of discussion of the members of Security Council, stresses among other things, praise for “the efforts of the Kosovo institutions to maintain a peaceful environment during the protracted period of political uncertainty that followed the 11 June legislative elections.”

The report further stresses that “an important part of achieving the objectives is sustained progress in the normalization of relations between Belgrade and Pristina.

The report published on the internet page of the UN Security Council also stresses that the Pristina-Belgrade political dialogue, facilitated by the European Union, demands steadfast commitment and an acknowledgement that implementation of the agreements signed in 2013 has often been delayed.

“High-level agreements, both old and new, only have meaning if they are backed by broad-based support and action from both sides,” stresses the report.
