During the UN Security Council (UNSC) on Kosovo, Mrkic reiterated that Serbia has not recognised and will not recognise the unilaterally declared independence of the southern province, and expressed gratitude to the UN members which have not recognised it yet.
He pointed to Pristina's obstructions in the implementation of the agreement on normalisation of relations signed in Brussels, and warned that these must not be easily overlooked.
The Brussels agreement was signed so as facilitate the solution of questions of vital importance for all people in the province, hopeful that Pristina would share our enthusiasm in overcoming the problems that we have been faced with far too long now, Mrkic said.
It is exactly in this role of impartial overseer of the process of historic reconciliation that the United Nations is perceived by the Republic of Serbia, Mrkic said.
Just as the signing of the Brussels agreement would not have been possible this year without EU mediation, so, I am afraid, the implementation of the agreements may not be possible without an active participation by the UN, Mrkic said.
Firmly resolved to prove that Serbia is up to the challenges and tasks that it is presented with, we also need a guarantor that the other side will not undermine the agreements already reached, Mrkic said.
