UK: Kosovo important, but focus on burring issues
The UK, which is holding the rotating presidency of the United Nations’ Security Council (UN SC) in August, says on Thursday that the body should focus on the burning and most current issues which endanger the world’s peace and security, the FoNet news agency has reported, quoting the British embassy to Serbia.
The embassy’s statement added that did not mean Kosovo was not an important question, responding to Belgrade's reaction after London’s decision not to include >> Pročitaj celu vest na sajtu N1 televizija << Kosovo’s situation on this month agenda of the UN SC meeting.
The move stopped the years-long practice of the body to discuss the issue every three months.
The UK Belgrade embassy said that Kosovo was a significant European regional issue, but that the intensity of the problem was not the same as it was 15 odd years ago, so London believed that, at the moment, it did not request such frequency as the situation in Burma and Yemen.
British decision also came after the UN Secretary-General António Guterres warned about the lack of results in the murder of a Kosovo Serb leader and the idea to build a road inside the protected zone around a Serb monastery.
The embassy said that the UK representatives to the UN had the consultation with other delegations, including the one from Serbia, to decide on the rhythm of the Kosovo-related meetings, adding there was still no solution, but that the talks would continue.
It also said that “it is most important for both Serbia and Kosovo to remain sincerely committed to the Brussels dialogue facilitated by the European Union.”
“Our message to the delegations (of Belgrade and Pristina) in New York is that the states don’t waste energy on the tactics and procedural questions, but to direct it at the essential, greater aim, which is the normalisation of relations, the UK Belgrade embassy told the agency.
