Djuric commends Brnabic's UN Security Council speech

WASHINGTON - Serbia's Ambassador to the US Marko Djuric on Tuesday commended Serbian PM Ana Brnabic's speech in the UN Security Council in New York.

"All you need to know about the current situation in Kosovo*. The comprehensive speech by Serbian PM Ms Ana Brnabic at the UN Security Council is a must for anyone seeking to understand the Serbian position. And the truth," Djuric wrote in a post on the social media network X, formerly known as Twitter.

Addressing the UNSC on Monday evening, Brnabic said the interim authorities in Pristina were carrying out a campaign of systematic violence and denial of the fundamental rights of Serbs in Kosovo-Metohija.

"What we see in Kosovo and Metohija today is comprehensive political, legal, institutional and physical violence against Serbs," Brnabic told the UN body's session on the latest report on UNMIK, the UN Mission in Kosovo- Metohija.

"We have been continuously and repeatedly expressing concerns about the dangers that may arise from Pristina’s refusal to fulfil the obligations undertaken in the dialogue with Belgrade, facilitated by the EU. The current situation on the ground is an inevitable consequence of a series of more than a dozen unilateral actions by Pristina," she said.

Brnabic also noted the necessity of establishing a Community of Serb Municipalities and holding new elections in the north of Kosovo-Metohija as soon as possible as part of efforts towards de-escalation.
