NEW YORK -- The UN Security Council held an emergency session called by Serbia in New York on Tuesday.

The meeting came in order to review the situation in Kosovo after a bomb attack which left one person dead during a Serb protest rally in Kosovo Mitrovica last week. The Serbs were protesting against the opening of a Kosovo Albanian government office there. The Serbs do not recognize the authority of that government.

Serbian President Boris Tadić addressed the council and referred to the incident as a flagrant act of terrorism aimed at sabotaging a solution that would lead to negotiations. The UN mission in Kosovo, UNMIK, chief and UN SC ambassadors called on dialog.

Tadić also said the "sinister plan to unilaterally install by force an unlawful and unwanted regime in one part of Kosovo" had the backing of EU representative and ICO chief in Kosovo Pieter Feith. While five EU countries have not recognized the Kosovo Albanian unilateral independence declaration, ICO represents the five leading countries that have, and are actively promoting it
