Continued UNMIK engagement on an undiminished scale crucial

Belgrade / New York, 20 April 2022

Minister of Foreign Affairs Nikola Selakovic pointed out today in New York, in a conversation with UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres, that continuous consideration of the situation in Kosovo and Metohija before this body is essential Serbia, as well as for the international community.

Ahead of today's session of the UN Security Council, Selakovic underlined that the UN is the most important international organisation for Serbia, and emphasised that the continuation of UNMIK's engagement in an undiminished scope and with an unchanged mandate is of key importance.

He informed the Secretary General about the frequent attacks on Serbs, their property and facilities of the Serbian Orthodox Church, explaining that these incidents unequivocally indicate the threat to our people and the fragile security situation in the province.

The head of Serbian diplomacy reiterated that Serbia is absolutely committed to preserving peace and security and that he will continue to insist on the protection of the Serbian population in Kosovo and Metohija.

During the conversation, the Minister paid special attention to the problem of internally displaced persons from Kosovo and Metohija, and at the same time informed Guterres about the situation in the region, emphasising that Serbia is consistently a pillar of political stability in the Western Balkans.

As he pointed out, Serbia provides its full contribution to the UN and the preservation of international peace through participation in UN missions around the world, stating that with more than 260 blue helmets we are third in Europe and first in the region in the UN contribution to UN peacekeeping forces.
