Serbian Minister for Kosovo: UN must have a role in Kosovo dialogue

Serbian Minister for Kosovo Goran Bogdanović met on Tuesday with the head of the UN mission in Kosovo, Lamberto Zannier.

Bogdanović told Zannier that the UN “has not been involved in the dialogue between Belgrade and Priština and that the world organization needs to assume a role in the process”.

Bogdanović noted that “Belgrade is insisting that the world organization get a role in the negotiation process,” but that “above all, the UN itself needs to insist on having a hand in the process.”

Bogdanović reiterated Belgrade’s long-held stance that “the UN is the highest authority of legitimate international presence in Kosovo, and that it must act in line with its mandate.”
