Belgrade, 11 June 2018

First Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ivica Dacic met today with Assistant Secretary-General of the United Nations Peace Operations Bintou Keita and Special Representative of the UN Secretary-General and UNMIK Chief Zahir Tanin.

Representatives of the United Nations highlighted the importance of the contributions that Serbia, through participation in five United Nations peacekeeping operations with more than 300 members, provides for the preservation of peace and security in the world.

They also expressed determination to continue the presence and operation of the UN Mission in Kosovo-Metohija, in accordance with UN Security Council Resolution 1244, as well as its commitment to preserving stability and building confidence among communities.

Dacic stressed the importance of the United Nations for the Republic of Serbia when it comes to the protection of territorial integrity and sovereignty, emphasising the necessity of preserving UNMIK as a guarantor of status neutrality, in the unlimited scope and mandate, as well as Serbia's determination to find a compromise and sustainable solution for the issue of Kosovo-Metohija.

He also expressed readiness to continue the participation of the Republic of Serbia in peacekeeping operations in the framework of further contribution to collective security, as well as the determination to further enhance the cooperation of Serbia and the United Nations in the most important areas of the organisation's operations.
