Vucic to speak at special UNSC session on Kosovo-Metohija

BELGRADE - Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic will address a special UNSC session on the situation in Kosovo-Metohija in New York on Thursday, the presidential press office has announced.

In a request for a special session - submitted to Guyana, which presides over the UNSC - Serbia said the situation in Kosovo-Metohija was completely opposite to the UN Charter and UNSCR 1244/1999 and "of such nature that it requires the Special Session of the Security Council."

"Namely, in this territory, which in accordance with the UN Charter and other rules of international law and UNSCR 1244, is a part of the Republic of Serbia, and where international administration of the UN was established, there is an ongoing culmination of long-lasting and well-planned and systematic actions by the so-called leadership of Kosovo Albanians, by which Serbs have been intentionally subjected to unbearable living conditions. It is about the illegal decision by the Provisional Institutions of Self-Government in Pristina on abolishing the Serbian legal tender, the Serbian dinar, in the territory of Kosovo-Metohija, which is the continuity of measures of brutal physical and institutional violence against Serbs by the Provisional Institutions of Self-Government in Pristina, and whose essential objective is complete ethnic cleansing and disappearance of the Serbian population from the respective territory - which is taking place as we speak," the document said.
