Minister of Foreign Affairs Vuk Jeremic  held consultations with Russian Minister of Foreign Affairs Sergey Lavrov regarding a draft resolution on investigation into human organ trafficking in Kosovo-Metohija which will be presented to the UN Security Council.

In a statement to Fonet news agency from Saint Petersburg, where he attended the International Economic Forum, Jeremic said that the Serbian and Russian representatives discussed ways to jointly and with diplomatic efforts overcome the opposition of some countries that are preventing the Security Council to launch investigation.

It is of paramount importance to appoint a new UNMIK chief as soon as Lamberto Zannier leaves and not to leave the position vacated, the Minister underlined.

We can expect attempts to obstruct UN Security Council Resolution 1244 because there are those who are trying to push aside the Resolution, but Russia will not allow this to occur in the Security Council, he observed.

Jeremic said that today’s International Economic Forum was an opportunity to discuss bilateral relations, primarily in the economic remit.

The Forum was attended by more or less all relevant stakeholders from the economic sphere not only in Russia, but also from China and a number of other countries.

The gathering was a good opportunity to hear and meet investors from Russia and the Far East, as well as to acquaint them with Serbia’s economic possibilities and investment potential, the Minister noted, voicing his satisfaction with results of the meeting.
