I will immediately start by saying that it would probably take me a couple of hours to respond to what was said by Ms. Osmani-Sadriu, as well as by the Albanian Ambassador, but I will give a few examples that show the difference between words and actions.
We heard from Ms. Osmani-Sadriu that Kosovo…
I would like to start by expressing my gratitude to the Secretary-General, António Guterres, and Special Representative of the Secretary-General and Head of the United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK), Ms. Ziadeh, for the attention they dedicate to Kosovo and Metohija.

The topic we a…
After that political speech by the Ambassador of Bosnia and Herzegovina, I will try to speak about the relevant cases today before the Security Council.
With the end of the proceedings in the case of Stanišić and Simatović, which began more than two decades ago, there is no longer a single case bef…
Today we are addressing the issue that has been on the Security Council’s agenda for a long time. This is a testimony to the difficult legacy of the Yugoslav crisis and the complex challenges in the post-war period.
Nevertheless, we must remind ourselves of major achievements that have been often t…
I do not know why we are having a language problem. We never had problems like this before; I do remember that Hashim Thaçi and others speaking in Albanian in this Chamber on previous occasions, so I hardly think that there was anything wrong in this. On the other hand, Council members have heard wh…
As always, I am honoured to be here today. I am convinced that the efforts of the Special Representative of the Secretary- General, Ms. Ziadеh, have constructive intentions, and we appreciate her desire and commitment.

I must respond, as we heard a plethora of blatant lies from Ms. Gërvalla-Schwarz during her statement. I would like to respond to just some of them.
One of those lies was that she represents the youngest democracy in Europe. Have you ever heard of a democracy where people are banned from voting in …

Today’s meeting of the Security Council on the report of the High Representative (see S/2022/374) takes place at a time when the international community is facing…
I have to react to what I heard about Mr. Dick Marty. The Republic of Serbia finds it unfortunate that unverified information was
disseminated to the international public that caused great damage to the reputation of the Republic of Serbia and its intelligence services and all those who have perfor…
I have the obligation to react and respond to the words said by Ms. Gërvalla- Schwarz here today.
Instead of speaking about the real problems on the ground and the lack of respect for human rights, about the abolition of political freedoms, about more than 200,000 internally displaced persons, abou…
