RTS

On the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the UN, Ivica Dacic, Serbia's Parliament Speaker, said on Friday that Belgrade expected the UN UNMIK mission in Kosovo to continue implementing its mandate, adding his country remained "strongly committed to the goals and principles of the UN, which were more relevant today than ever."

Recalling that former Yugoslavia, of which Serbia is one of the successors, is one of the UN founders and one of the first 50 signatories to the UN Charter, signed on June 26, 1945, in San Francisco, and entered into force on October 24, 1945, Dacic has said Serbia has attached special importance to the top world organisation in preserving Serbia’s territorial integrity and sovereignty.

„We always stress that UN Security Council Resolution 1244, which reaffirms Serbia’s territorial integrity and sovereignty, remains in force. UNMIK’s neutral status presence continues to be essential for stability and the creation of conditions that should lead to lasting and a sustainable solution to the issue of Kosovo, and we expect the mission to continue with the implementation of its mandate,“ Dacic said.
