Minister Djuric meets with UN Assistant Secretary-General Jenca

Positively evaluating the ongoing cooperation with the United Nations team in Serbia, Minister Djuric emphasized that the role of the United Nations in preserving the territorial integrity and sovereignty of the Republic of Serbia was of vital importance for us.

In this context, the Minister expressed serious concern over tendencies to lift restrictive measures imposed on the Provisional Institutions of Self-Government in Pristina.

"Potentially lifting the already very limited and insufficient measures against Albin Kurti's regime would implicitly mean accepting the consequences of his ethno-nationalist agenda, which has been detrimental to the life and survival of the Serbian people in Kosovo and Metohija for almost three years", Djuric stressed.

“Albin Kurti's regime should be sanctioned, not rewarded or tolerated for its irresponsible conduct”, he added.

The Minister underlined that such a move would send a very negative signal to the region that the unilateral, provocative, and harmful acts of Pristina – including the grossest violations of basic human rights, pressures, abuses, brutal physical and institutional violence against Serbs, and the overall systematic persecution of the Serbian people – enjoyed the support of the international community.

The head of Serbian diplomacy once again emphasized the importance of consistent adherence to UN Security Council Resolution 1244 and highlighted the necessity of continuing the activity of the UN Mission in Kosovo and Metohija (UNMIK) in an undiminished scope and unchanged mandate.
