BELGRADE - During its OSCE chairmanship, Serbia was trying not to cross the line of partiality but, at times, there are resolutions that are so harsh that Serbia cannot back them because it has its own interests, Serbian FM Ivica Dacic said Thursday.

BELGRADE - Moscow regrets that the US and Ukraine have opposed the Russian-initiated resolution on combating the glorification of Nazism, adopted by the UN General Assembly, the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement.

The UN General Assembly has adopted a resolution calling for international monitoring of the situation regarding human rights in Crimea, Sputnik has reported.

The draft resolution was submitted by Ukraine, and was supported by 70 countries. 26 were against, while 77 abstained.

Activists and experts have called on Croatia to promote and protect human rights and freedoms at home as well as abroad after the country was elected by the UN General Assembly as a new member of the Human Rights Council last week.

A first vote on the UN Secretary General candidates where colour-coded ballots will be used to show preferences for contenders will be held by the United Nations Security Council on Wednesday.

An informal dialogue with Bulgaria's new candidate for the top UN post will take place at UN headquarters on Monday, Peter Thomson, president of the 71st session of the UN General Assembly, announced on September 29.

EU Commission Vice President Kristalina Georgieva has said she will do her best in the race to become UN Secretary General, despite the narrow deadlines she has to meet.

In an interview with daily Standart due to be published on Monday, as she appears before the UN General Assembly, she has admitted to being aware the race would be tough, given her late entry.

The official Bulgarian candidate for UN Secretary General Kristalina Georgieva has published her vision of the activity of the leader of the world organisation on the website of the United Nations Association in Bulgaria.

Georgieva states that the voice of the Secretary General must be heard constantly on a global scale and he/she must insist on action with respect to climate change.
