Dacic: Request for urgent UNSC session due to overall situation in Kosovo-Metohija

ROME - Serbian First Deputy PM and FM Ivica Dacic said on Monday Serbia's request for an urgent UNSC session was due to the overall situation in Kosovo-Metohija, the terror against Serbs, an attempt to ban the Serbian dinar and violations of UNSCR 1244 and all other international documents related to Kosovo-Metohija.

"The head of Serbia's permanent mission to the UN Nemanja Stevanovic has submitted a request to hold an urgent UNSC session. The request for an urgent session was submitted to Guyana, the presiding nation. The request can be adopted without a vote, with no objections, but if anyone requests that, there can be a vote about it, because that is the practice introduced in recent years," Dacic said in a statement after a Western Balkans ministerial meeting in Rome.

He said he expected all countries to accept the request due to the nature of the situation.
