FM Vuk Jeremic told B92 that the Kosovo delegation presence at the UN General Assembly violated the world organization's code of ethics. After Serbia lodged a protest to the UN, its General Secretariat conducted an investigation and announced that Fatmir Sejdiu was most likely taken to the UN building "by Albania". Albania "smuggled" Kosovo to UN session "The United Nations did not issue passes to the Kosovo representatives to enter the General Assembly hall," Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon's spokesman Brenden Varma has stated. He also explained that all UN GA participants have at their disposal a number of passes that they can "give to whomever they want, allowing them to observe the session from a special room". Such a move, Jeremic commented, violates the UN rules. He also commented on the statement that came from Swedish FM Carl Bildt, whose country holds the rotating EU presidency, who said that as the EU integration process continued, Serbia would be expected to exhibit "a pragmatic position on Kosovo". Jeremic claims that recognizing Kosovo is not a condition that will be put before the government in Belgrade. "Such a condition would not be accepted by Serbia under any circumstances," the foreign minister explained. He also told B92 that Serbia's representatives met with over 70 foreign officials during the UN GA session in New York, to call on other countries as well not to recognize the ethnic Albanian unilateral independence declaration. Jeremic revealed that in New York, President Boris Tadic once again presented his idea for Belgrade to host the Non-Aligned Movement's summit in 2011, on its 50th anniversary. "No country opposed that idea", said the minister, and added that he believed the summit would be held in Serbia.
