Minister of Foreign Affairs Ivica Dacic said that today's session of the UN Security Council in New York City, which is dedicated to the six-month report of UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres about the work of UNMIK, is another opportunity for Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic to emphasize all the fundamental principles that Serbia stands for as well as to point out all the problems faced by Serbs in the area of Kosovo and Metohija.

Dacic told TV Pink that the meeting is an opportunity for Vucic to point out that the report, which Dacic says is always prepared according to a template, is insufficient and does not properly show all the difficulties that the Serb people are facing.

"It is also an opportunity to stress that not all the problems are described in it, nor is it clear where all these problems stem from," said Dacic.

The minister added that this session is another opportunity for Vucic to repeat the fundamental principles that Serbia stands for, as well as to point out all the problems that Serbs are facing in Kosovo and Metohija.

Dacic reminded that the prime minister of Pristina's provisional institutions, Albin Kurti, will not be present at the session, stating that the obvious reason is that he did not do well while squaring off with Vucic in the past.

"It's interesting that Kurti will not be at the meeting, Osmani will. He ran away from that session and from facing Vucic. Mostly he would go to these meetings, but it is obvious that he didn't do very well in all those 'duels,' and he takes it as a type of duel," said Dacic.

The minister added that today's UN Security Council session will be regular, but that Western countries are trying and succeeding in reducing the number of those meetings.

"Previously, they were held four times a year, that is, every three months, then that was reduced to three, and now to two (times a year). And now there's this illogical situation, that Bosnia and Herzegovina is discussed twice a year, but it bothers them that Kosovo and Metohija should be discussed twice a year," Dacic said.

Asked if he expects anyone at today's session to react to a referendum that took place in the north of Kosovo, which the Serbs boycotted, Dacic stated that the issue is not formally included in the report, but that it will certainly be a topic.

He added that the referendum in the north of Kosovo and Metohija has failed.

"You know what kind of spin it is now, they are now blaming us for that referendum, that we boycotted the referendum - I mean the EU is. We are not constructive, and it turns out that Pristina is. And they created that whole situation. (First) there were fake elections, fake mayors were elected. Then they said the mayors would resign. Then now, there's supposed to be a referendum. It's a whole list of these science fiction ideas that keep causing problems," said Dacic.

The minister added that the goal of unilateral acts coming from Kurti is to constantly create some problems and to complicate the life of Serbs living in Kosovo and Metohija, which would achieve the long-term goal - the continuation of the policy of ethnic cleansing.
