Serbian Minister of Foreign Affairs Ivica Dacic said in New York there is yet no agreement on the frequency of Security Council sessions on Kosovo, BETA news agency reported.
“We want the agreement on dynamics of the sessions to be reached, but if it is not reached, then sessions would depend upon the country chairing over the Security Council in that month,” Dacic told RTS, following the SC session on Kosovo yesterday.
During the debate on Kosovo at UN SC on Wednesday, the representative of Russia emphasized that he fully agreed with the assessments of Ivica Dacic, pointing out that there are serious and deep problems in Kosovo that require urgent resolution.
"The stories about some ideal situation in Kosovo do not impress us at all," the Russian representative said, adding that six years after the signing of the Brussels agreement, the Community of Serb Municipalities has not been formed, that Pristina blocked the process, while Belgrade fulfilled all its obligations.
Serbia has tried to constructively contribute to a solution for Kosovo and is ready to continue to talk with all interested parties in that spirit. First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Ivica Dacic said this on November 15 in New York City, at a session of the UN Security Council dedicated to Kosovo.
First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Ivica Dacic will represent Serbia at a UN Security Council session on November 14.
A report of the UN Secretary-General on the work of the UNMIK for the period from July 16 - October 15 will be examined during the session, the Serbian government has announced.
United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres warned that despite of peace in Kosovo over the last three months, several incidents which were results of intercommunity tensions were recorded, Serbian public broadcaster RTS reports.
SG Guterres also welcomed the readiness of Belgrade and Pristina to normalize relations through dialogue. He also noted that during the last three months 53 persons returned to Kosovo, 29 of them are Serbs.
The issue of Kosovo and Metohija has been included back on the agenda of the UN Security Council. The next session that will consider a report on the situation in the southern Serbian province has been scheduled for November 14.
This has been confirmed for Tanjug by First Deputy PM and Foreign Minister Ivica Dacic.
"The program of the SC's work for November has been adopted, where a session dedicated to KiM (Kosovo and Metohija) is back on the agenda, and scheduled for November 14," he said.
The United Nations Security Council should discuss about compromise final solution for Kosovo, in case it is reached, Belgrade-based Vecernje Novosti writes today, referring to diplomatic sources.
This would bring this issue back under the auspices of the world organization, from where it has been removed in 2010 following the resolution submitted by the-then Serbian authorities, pushing the Kosovo issue in the hands of the EU, as a mediator in a dialogue between the two sides, Novosti further added.
There is still a “clash” in the Security Council regarding London’s decision to remove Kosovo from the agenda in August, while Russia and China refuse to move discussion on Kosovo behind the closed doors, Belgrade-based daily Vecerenje Novosti reported.
Therefore, discussion on the situation in Kosovo three times a year, open to public, according to Novosti, could be a compromise solution among the great powers in the Security Council.
While the departure of EULEX Mission from Kosovo seriously endangers security of Serbs in Kosovo, President Aleksandar Vucic is serving to the citizens a story on referendum, Peoples’ Party said in a press statement, Danas daily reported.
The Party further said that Vucic is fabricating a false conflict with NATO Alliance, and without any evidence wages dirty war against opposition parties, in particular against Peoples’ Party, obviously being afraid citizens in Serbia could hear a truth about a failure of his politics.
Russia and China have once again opposed initiatives coming from some UN Security Council members to change the format of the UN mission in Kosovo, UNMIK.
They hold the same position when it comes to attempts to change the format of the Council's sessions dedicated to Kosovo. In this way, they supported Serbia's stance on the issue.
