Foreign Minister Vuk Jeremic said late on Wednesday Serbia found UNMIK's performance in Kosovo unsatisfactory. Jeremic was speaking in a United Nations Day reception in Belgrade when he stressed Serbia will continue to cooperate actively with the UN on building a safer and more prosperous world, but also warned of the disappointing results which the UN mission in Kosovo had achieved since 1999. Jeremic: UNMIK results disappointing The setting up of temporary self-government institutions has been accompanied by a marginalization of non-Albanian communities in Kosovo, especially Serbs, Jeremic said. He reminded that ever since UNMIK's arrival, over 200,000 people had left the province, most of them Serbs, but also members of the Roma and other minorities, and that only a small number of them had returned. According to Serbia's chief of diplomacy, one of the obvious examples of the difficult situation is also the condition of the Serb religious and cultural monuments in the province, bearing in mind the fact that more than 150 churches have been ruined over the last eight years. Addressing the guests, UNDP Permanent Representative in Serbia Lance Clarke progress was made in Serbia on the past eight years in a number of fields, from the strengthening of the government capacities and the civil society to economic growth and poverty reduction, stressing, however, that some parts of the society did not feel the benefits of that progress. The guests were also addressed by UN Assistant Secretary-General for Peacekeeping Operations Edmond Mulet, who conveyed best regards of UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and gave credit to Serbia as a country which, as he put it, gave an active contribution to UN peacekeeping operations.
