United Nations Security Council

NEW YORK - A UN Security Council session on UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres's new semi-annual report on UNMIK, the UN mission in Kosovo-Metohija, is slated for April 22, according to the UNSC monthly schedule.

The session has been called by Malta, current president of the UNSC.

BELGRADE - Russian Ambassador to Serbia Alexander Botsan-Kharchenko said on Tuesday Western states had blocked the holding of a UN Security Council session requested by Russia to mark 25 years since the start of the 1999 NATO aggression on the then Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (FRY) because they were "afraid of the truth."

NEW YORK - Serbian FM Ivica Dacic said in New York on Monday Serbia was disappointed that the truth about the 1999 NATO aggression on the then Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (FRY) had been silenced in the UN Security Council.

In a move that has sparked controversy and drawn widespread attention, the United States has exercised its veto power to block a UN Security Council resolution that sought to hold Israeli security forces accountable for the recent tragedy involving a humanitarian convoy in Gaza. The incident, marked by shooting and stampede, resulted in the deaths of over 100 individuals.

The wars in Ukraine and Gaza most likely mark the end of the system of global government instituted after World War II. However dysfunctional the UN Security Council was from the start, it had not been undermined to the level that it is today.

NEW YORK - Serbia's Ambassador to the UN Nemanja Stevanovic submitted on Monday a request by the Republic of Serbia to call an extraordinary UNSC session over the situation in Kosovo-Metohija.

Stevanovic submitted the request to the political adviser of the Guyanese mission to the UN.

Guyana is presiding over the UNSC.

The request was submitted to the Guyana Mission to the political adviser in the mission of this country, which is the chair of the United Nations Security Council.

NEW YORK - The UN Security Council session on the next semiannual report on the work of UNMIK, the UN mission in Kosovo-Metohija, will be held on October 23.

The session has been rescheduled from October 18.

Tensions in Serbia's southern province have escalated since the most recent session on the mission's work, held on April 27.

Greece congratulated Slovenia, its partner and ally in the European Union, for its election as member of the UN Security Council for the term 2014-2025, the Foreign Affairs Ministry said on Wednesday.

The FM also congratulated Algeria, Guyana, Sierra Leone, and South Korea who were elected new members of the UN Security Council for 2024-2025.

Slovenia has been elected a non-permanent member of the United Nations Security Council for 2024-2025, securing the requisite two-thirds majority among UN member states in the first round of voting on 6 June to beat Belarus in the Eastern European group.
