 Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic announced in Belgrade on July 6 that, because of the situation in Kosovo, he would seek a meeting with the NATO General Secretary Jens Stoltenberg and an urgent session of the U.N. Security Council.

He stated that “a most brutal ethnic cleansing” was under way in Kosovo and that it was clear to official Belgrade that “things have gotten out of control.” Vucic stated at the news conference that he would “ask for a meeting with Stoltenberg,” and that a request for a U.N. Security Council session would be submitted next week.

Vucic explained that he would ask for the meeting with the general secretary of the Alliance on July 11 or 12, during the NATO summit, or immediately after that. He said that he wished to have “a serious conversation” with Stoltenberg and tell him, in his words, “what we can (do) and what we no longer can (do).”
