The importance of Serbia’s contribution to the UN's efforts to preserve peace and security in the world through its participation in peacekeeping operations was highlighted, as well as a high level of professionalism and integrity that the members of the Serbian Army and the police in UN missions throughout the world continuously demonstrate, thus continuing the tradition of Yugoslavia's participation which began in 1956.

Also, full agreement has been expressed on the need to respect UN Security Council Resolution 1244 and the necessity of preserving the presence of the UN Mission in Kosovo-Metohija (UNMIK) as a guarantor of the status neutrality of the international presence.

Zuev emphasised that UNMIK remains an important factor in preserving stability, but also in the rule of law in Kosovo-Metohija.

On this occasion, Dacic also highlighted the importance that the United Nations has for Serbia, as well as our commitment to the priority areas of the UN's work, with both sides expressing readiness to continue close cooperation and deepening it within the UN peace operations.
