I would like to thank you for the opportunity to address the Security Council on behalf of the Republic of Serbia regarding the annual report on the work of the International Residual Mechanism for Criminal Tribunals (see S/2025/491). My statement is limited to those parts of the report that concern…
I would like to congratulate you, Mr. President, on your very successful presidency of the Security Council for the month of October and to wish every success to Sierra Leone in discharging these duties in the coming month.
Following the recent discussion on the situation in Kosovo and Metohija (se…
In these polarized times, I want to acknowledge and welcome the almost universal agreement of the Members of the Council on the difficult position of the Serbian community in Kosovo. I think this sends a strong and powerful message to both Mr. Kurti, Mr. Sveçla and those in positions of power that t…
Allow me to begin with the words of Nelson Mandela, who once said that to deny people their human rights is to challenge their very humanity. These words echo with painful clarity today, as we speak about Kosovo and Metohija, where the fundamental rights of Serbs are not merely being ignored; they a…
It is my honour to have this opportunity to address the Security Council on behalf of the Republic of Serbia regarding the six-month report on the work of the International Residual Mechanism for Criminal Tribunals and to present the positions of the Republic of Serbia.
Since the conclusion of the …
At the outset, allow me to congratulate you, Mr. President, on assuming the presidency of the Security Council this month and to wish you every success in discharging your duties.
Serbia has a strategic interest in the preservation of the stability of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Any instability — let …
I express my concern and regret owing to the fact that we have not heard a single word of commitment to the dialogue or to the implementation of the agreements reached under the European Union (EU)-facilitated dialogue by Ms. Donika Gërvalla-Schwarz here today. What we have heard instead was a serie…
It is a great honour to address this organ today on behalf of the Republic of Serbia. I take this opportunity to thank Secretary-General António Guterres and Ms. Caroline Ziadeh, Special Representative of the Secretary-General and Head of the United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo (…
I express my gratitude for the opportunity to address the Security Council on behalf of the Republic of Serbia regarding the semi-annual report on the work of the International Residual Mechanism for Criminal Tribunals.
As highlighted in the report itself, the reality has been significantly differe…
I will be very brief. I think that the inflammatory language that we heard is disrespectful of the Council. Serbia is oriented towards the future. This is somebody who is using every opportunity to attack the leadership of Serbia and using words such Anschluss, and others. We know what that means. B…
I congratulate you, Madam President, and the United Kingdom on assuming the presidency of the Council for the month of November. I would also like to thank Switzerland for its presidency of the Council in the month of October.
The stability of the region and overall cooperation with neighbours are …
What a sad message from the representative of Kurti’s regime we had the opportunity to hear today. We heard a steady stream of insults and lies aimed at the Republic of Serbia and our President — defamatory language that does nothing but deepen inter-ethnic tensions and bring the region back to the…
Let me begin by thanking Council members for their continued attention in relation to the escalating crisis in Kosovo and Metohija.
Faced with dire challenges to the safety and well-being of its people, Serbia remains steadfast in its commitment to peace, stability and full respect for the principl…
The world of today is faced with numerous and serious challenges that necessitate the close cooperation of all and call for responsibility in the quest for proper and applicable answers. Serbia considers that productive multilateralism is both necessary and achievable if we demonstrate readiness for…
Thank you, Mr. President, for the opportunity to address the Security Council on behalf of Republic of Serbia regarding the six- month report on the work of the International Residual Mechanism for Criminal Tribunals.
In 2010, the Mechanism was established by resolution 1966 (2010), the intention b…
Two weeks have elapsed since the Security Council’s consideration of the situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina in an emergency meeting (see S/PV.9621). A regular meeting is on the Council’s agenda today, and we would do well to discuss the true success achieved in the six-month period. Unfortunately, …
It is my distinct honour to address the Council on behalf of the Republic of Serbia.
I address the Council today as my country stands ready to protect the Dayton Peace Agreement and stands ready to protect peace and stability in the Balkans region, but also stands ready to protect the memory and th…
Of course, the Permanent Representative of Croatia has an obsession with the Republic of Serbia in every statement that he makes on any subject, but I would just like to read something from a report by the Prosecutor — the Prosecutor, that is, not the Republic of Serbia. The report states that Croat…
I would like to thank Judge Gatti Santana, President of the International Residual Mechanism for Criminal Tribunals, and Prosecutor Brammertz for their report (see S/2023/566) and today’s briefings.
The Mechanism’s specific aim, in accordance with resolutions 1966 (2010) and 2637 (2022), is to evol…
I would first like to convey my full congratulations to our great friends from the People’s Republic of China on assuming the presidency of the Security Council, and to Brazil for its great leadership of the Council in the month of October. I wanted to mention that in particular because we have had …
