UN Security Council meets to discuss Kosovo

BELGRADE, NEW YORK -- FM Vuk Jeremić expressed his disappointment at the failure of the UN Security Council to officially condemn unilateral acts of the government in Priština.

The council today condemned the recent violence in the province and called on Belgrade and Priština to continue their dialogue, but a Russian draft presidential statement was "blocked", according to Tanjug news agency.

Addressing reporters after the council's session in New York on Tuesday, Jeremić stated that "Priština tried to use force", and wondered "if it will try it again".

Jeremić also noted that that the question that now arises was how to overcome the difficulties - by sending in paramilitary forces, which he appraised was done by Priština, or through negotiations.

"Why was it impossible to accept a (presidential UNSC) statement about what was more or less said during this session? Those who blocked it are carrying the responsibility regarding a repeat of unilateral acts undertaken by Priština," Jeremić told journalists.
