The minister noted that the session in New York will reveal the international community's position regarding acts of aggression, adding that Serbia considers the events in Kosovo and Metohija that took place over the past weeks "an attempt of aggression". "Aggression must neither be tolerated nor rewarded," e said, noting that Serbia will defend that stance "using all available resources and arguments".

"We suffer obstructions, and we recently had one such case, and now the same arguments are being voiced again," Jeremic said, adding that Serbia would engage in intensive contacts with all UN Security Council members, especially those who support the country's position.
