NEW YORK - Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic said in the UN Security Council on Thursday evening Serbia was no one's puppet, but an independent, sovereign and freedom-loving country.

The session is being held at the request of Serbia, which requested it on Monday due to the situation in Kosovo and Metohija, and the request states, among other things, that the current situation is in sharp contrast to the UN Charter and UN Security Council Resolution 1244.
