Russia's support for Kosovo at UN Security Council session

Belgrade / St. Petersburg, 7 June 2019

First Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ivica Dacic met today with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, with whom he discussed the situation in Kosovo ahead of the Security Council session, which will be held on 10 June.

Dacic told a press conference in St. Petersburg, where he is taking part in the International Economic Forum, that the head of the Russian diplomacy was informed in detail about Serbia's plans on Kosovo-Metohija.

Dacic stated that Lavrov had told him that Moscow absolutely supports Serbia and that this support would be clearly expressed in the upcoming UN Security Council session.

The meeting was very important because it came about after the latest events in the province, that is, after the incidents and intrusion on the north of Kosovo and attacking the UN forces, that is, the UN mission and the Russian representative of UNMIK, on the eve of the Security Council session, he said.

Dacic stressed that he had informed his Russian counterpart that Serbia is ready for a compromise, but that the Albanian side does not want and constantly breaks down all the agreements, since it does not want to fulfill what it has signed six years ago.

According to Dacic, Pristina does not want to form the Community of Serb Municipalities, abolish taxes, nor to respect the obligations that the security and armed forces do not come to the north of Kosovo.
