Serbian President condemned the UN and the west for the violation of Serbia’s sovereignty

Posted on by नेपाल राष्ट्रिय दैनिक

Addressing the UN General Assembly in New York, Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic condemned the UN members and the west for the violation of Serbia’s sovereignty.

Referring to the endorsement of Kosovo’s independence by the UN and western countries, he said that the UN and the west have failed to explain why they have different points of view on Ukraine and Serbia’s territorial integrity.

Referring to the 1999 NATO bombing of Yugoslavia, he said that we want a clear answer that we have been asking for years, “Why is the truth about the violation of Serbia’s territorial integrity unspoken and what is the difference between the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine and the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Serbia?”

NATO occupied Kosovo in 1999, after a 78-day bombing campaign against what was then Yugoslavia. The province declared independence in 2008 with Western support and was recognized by the US and most of its allies.

US troops have reportedly been sent to northern Kosovo after talks between the Serbian and Kosovo leaders collapsed

The NATO-led Kosovo Force (KFOR) has increased its patrols of the northern part of the province amid ongoing tensions between Belgrade and Pristina.

Troops were deployed in significant numbers to two checkpoints at the border between Serbia and Kosovo, the reports said, adding that KFOR had vowed to “intervene” if necessary.

The move follows the collapse of talks between Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic and Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti on Thursday.

“We would like to assure everyone that KFOR is ready to intervene, if necessary,” the NATO-led force said. The development comes just three days after NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg vowed that the military bloc would take action if “stability” in Kosovo is jeopardized. He also urged “all sides” to “show restraint and avoid violence.” The NATO chief also met both Vucic and Kurti earlier this week.

Meanwhile,Moscow has accused the West of fueling the conflict between Belgrade and Pristina and pressuring Serbia to adopt anti-Russian sanctions supported by much of the continent.
