Dacic: Request for urgent UN Security Council meeting because of overall situation in Kosovo and Metohija

Dacic added that the explanation of the request for the urgent session contains the entire chronology and description of the current situation in Kosovo and Metohija

First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Ivica Dacic said on Monday in Rome that Serbia had submitted a request to hold an urgent session of the UN Security Council due to the general situation in Kosovo and Metohija, the terror against Serbs, the attempts to ban the Serbian dinar and everything that constitutes a violation of UN Security Council Resolution 1244 and all other international documents related to Kosovo and Metohija.

"The head of the permanent mission of Serbia to the United Nations, Nemanja Stevanovic, submitted a request for an urgent session of the Security Council. The request was submitted to the country presiding, that is Guyana.

That request can be adopted without a vote, that is, without objections, but if someone demands, it can also be voted on, because this is a practice that has been introduced in recent years.

We are counting on a situation where all countries should accept the holding of this session on their own accord," Dacic said after a ministerial meeting on the Western Balkans held in Rome.

Dacic added that the explanation of the request for the urgent session contains the entire chronology and description of the current situation in Kosovo and Metohija.

"We will have the answers to all these questions very soon. The ambassador of Guyana will certainly call a meeting where this issue will be discussed. I spoke to my colleagues and spoke to the president this morning.

The part that will now happen is what the Ministry of Foreign Affairs deals with. The Office for Kosovo and Metohija and the negotiation team led by the president have prepared everything else, with which we are going to the session," said Dacic.
