Britain's stance, as the next head of the UN Security Council, is that this mechanism focuses on the most current issues threatening international peace and security, the British Embassy in Belgrade told the agency FoNet, clarifying that this does not mean that Kosovo does not matter.
Great Britain, which holds the presidency of the Security Council during August, has not introduced Kosovo into the agenda of this UN body.
“Kosovo is a very important regional European issue, but the intensity of the problem is not the same as 15 years ago or more, so there is no need for frequent meetings, like Burma or Yemen”, the British Embassy in Belgrade, broadcast the Balkan Service Free Europe.
Since the post-war in Kosovo, the UN Security Council has regularly discussed the UN secretary-general's reports on the situation in Kosovo and the work of the UN mission there, UNMIK.
The last such session was held on May 14th.
While Kosovo considers these meetings no longer necessary, Serbia says the United Nations will have to discuss the situation in Kosovo, as they have done so far.
