Ban "continues to act in line with UNSC Resolution 1244"
Kaneko confirmed that Ban had received a letter from Serbian Foreign Minister Ivica Dacic regarding Kosovo’s efforts to become a UNESCO member.“The Secretary-General continues to operate within the framework of Security Council resolution 1244 of 1999. The membership of UNESCO is a matter that is decided by UNESCO's General Conference,” she said.
Dacic stated in the letter that Kosovo’s intention to become a UNESCO member-state was unacceptable for Serbia as Kosovo could not be regarded as a sovereign state.
The Serbian foreign minister pointed out that Serbia had not changed its position regarding the status of its southern province.
As a territory under the administration of a UN mission in line with the valid and binding UNSC Resolution 1244 (1999), Kosovo cannot be considered a state as subject to international law, and thereby it cannot qualify for admission to UNESCO, Dacic said in the letter to Ban.
