Kosovo's ambassador to the US, Vlora Citaku, has hit the United Nations Security Council today, calling it Serbia “theater, since within four months of its request she called four sessions for Kosovo.
She has criticised the UN for this, saying Yemen, Syria and Venezuela need more attention to the UN than Kosovo. While he has stressed far that UNMIK has no mandate anymore in independent Kosovo.
Here are some parts of her opening word:
I don't understand why we're here today. Kosovo is not the new topic for this room. For many people in the world, it was the war in the '90s that brought your country to memory. This war, however, has preceded long years of oppression of oppression, years that have denied us our basic rights. We have not had the right to write and read in our tongues or to sing songs on the street. And years deaf and silent by Serbia's weapons. Years when your ancestors gave voice to me and my people. As we mark the 20th anniversary of Kosovo's liberation, we celebrate the role of the United Nations in Kosovo. When 1 million refugees returned your agencies were to offer and help them. Ladies and gentlemen, with all these facts, I address you with correctness and honor, and I seriously say why we are gathered here today, and for the third time in four months and yet we are talking about Kosovo. It is amazing that this council has gathered more sessions for Kosovo than it has for Syria, Yemen and Venezuela. I think there are serious challenges there that matter to your attention now, as we needed from you. It is unacceptable that this room was converted into theatre by our northern neighbour. U n NMIC has no role in Kosovo, nor does it have a mandate to exercise its role. These sessions have lost their meaning and in fact all that is happening here is evidence that Serbia is not sincere even in the attitudes it is articulating to engage with Kosovo for support of dialogue.
Dialogue between Kosovo and Serbia was not, is not, and will never be about Kosovo's right to exist as a free nation. Let's not distort the facts here. 11 years ago a new republic was born in Europe, and Kosovo will neither today nor tomorrow negotiate our citizenship nor our independence. We want and are willing to talk about building constructive relations as equal. But right here is the problem, Serbia is constantly rejecting the idea that Kosovo is equal.
