President Boris Tadic has met behind closed doors in New York with UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon to discuss his Kosovo report and the six-point plan. Tadic met with Ban after the session of the UN Security Council dedicated to Kosovo, which once again showed how much the world’s most powerful countries continue to be divided on the issue. Tadic, Ban talk Kosovo At the beginning of his address to the Security Council, Tadic reiterated that the NATO bombing of Serbia in 1999 had never been approved by the Security Council. Meanwhile, Kosovo foreign policy chief Skender Hyseni maintained Pristina’s stance that the NATO bombing had been justified. “I want to point out something illogical. Serbs were punished ten years ago with bombs, and ten years later, the Kosovo Albanians, despite the persecution of Serbs and the burning of their homes and churches, are rewarded by having 50 countries recognize the illegal independence declaration of our southern province. It is clear to all that 13 months after the illegal independence declaration there is no state in Kosovo,” the Serbian president said. “Mr. Tadic made an oversight. He did not mention the number of destroyed mosques and Albanian Catholic churches. He did not mention how many victims there were. I will remind the Security Council how many events there were that triggered the NATO intervention—the massacre of the Jashari family, the massacre in Racak, and the widespread repression of Albanian civilians all around Kosovo,” Hyseni retorted. “Everyone had their victims and I never forget victims, not only of my own people, but of other peoples, and that is why I am the only president in the region to have offered apologies to all these other peoples because of the victims, in expectation of an identical apology that is due the Serbs who lost their loved ones,” Tadic underlined.
