Serbian Foreign Minister Ivica Dacic said late on Thursday that the claim Pristina has enough votes to join UNESCO was "a big lie."
"In all the meetings the president and I have had here, this subject was also discussed," said Dacic, who is in New York as part of the Serbian delegation, led by Aleksandar Vucic, taking part in the UN General Assembly.
Aleksandar Vucic is traveling to New York on Monday, where he will stay until September 23.
The Serbian president will have a series of meetings, and participate in the UN General Assembly.
According to Tanjug, Vucic will attend the Sustainable Development Summit of the World Economic Forum and is also expects to meet with Philipp Rosler, a member of the organization's Executive Board.

The conditions for Western Balkan countries to join the EU membership will not be met before the end of the mandate of the current European Commission (EC).
EC President Jean-Claude Juncker said this on Wednesday, during his "state of the union" address at the European Parliament.
Beta is reporting that Juncker "stressed the EU will have more than 27 member states in the coming years."
Aleksandar Vucic late on Tuesday said that Kosovo and Metohija represents the essence of the political "present time, and the future" of Serbia.
Besides, the Serbian president said that he supported the decision of the Serb (Srpska) List to enter the Kosovo government - while Serbia "would not change its opinion" on the new Kosovo government's head, Ramush Haradinaj.
Russia will continue to try to influence the events in the Balkans, where Serbia is its most important link that serves as a launching ground.
This is according to Beta, which quoted Mark Galeotti of the Institute of International Relations Prague, who spoke for Radio Free Europe's Bosnia-Herzegovina/Serbia/Montenegro service.
Membership in the EU is the most important foreign policy goal of Serbia, Serbia's PM Brnabic has told a visiting British official.
However, she added during her meeting in Belgrade with Permanent Undersecretary at the Foreign Office Simon McDonald, "it is equally important how we will implement reforms on the path to membership."
The 120-seat Kosovo Assembly on Sunday elected Ramush Haradinaj, the PDK-led coalition candidate, as new head of the Kosovo government.
61 voted in favor, while one member of the Assembly abstained.
After the session, members of the Self-Determination and the coalition gathered around the LDK left the session and did not attend the taking of the oath of office of Haradinaj and the members of his government.
