Djuric pointed out that it is necessary to strengthen the presence and impact of this mission, especially in the field of protection of the Serbian community and the rights of internally displaced persons.
He informed the new head of UNMIK on progress achieved in the dialogue between Belgrade and Pristina, stressing the importance of full implementation of the first Brussels agreement and the establishment of the Community of Serbian Municipalities, as well as isolating the status issue during this dialogue.
The Director of the Office for Kosovo-Metohija informed the head of UNMIK about the attitude of Belgrade regarding Kosovo’s application for UNESCO, stressing that any resolution of issues of cultural and historical heritage of the Serbian Orthodox Church (SPC) is not sustainable without dialogue.
Tanin said that there will be no changes in the activities of this status-neutral mission and that it will continue with regular reporting to the UN Secretary General.
