Vuletic: The possibility of closing the UN Security Council session for the public hides a desire to conceal disagreements within the UN and the terror against the Serbs

The United Nations Security Council session, at which the regular report of the UN Secretary-General on the work of UNMIK will be presented, is scheduled for tomorrow and, according to announcements, it might be closed to the public. In this regard, sociologist Vladimir Vuletic says for Kosovo Online that one of the reasons behind such a possibility is the desire to avoid making disagreements between the United States and Great Britain, on one side, and Russia and China, on the other, regarding the need to keep the Kosovo issue on the UN agenda, as well as to prevent the public from gaining insight into the facts of the terror imposed by the Pristina authorities on the Serbs.

"It should be noted that the United States and Great Britain have been trying for some time to dilute, if not remove the Kosovo and Metohija issue from the agenda. What is expected is significant disagreement on this issue between Russia and China on one side and the United States and Great Britain on the other," Vuletic said.

He adds that closing the session for the public aims to avoid greater publicity and the display of this disagreement, especially when Western media have been consistently stating that the matter is closed, and there is nothing more to discuss.

"In that sense, the closing is an attempt to, at least concerning the public, keep this issue closed," Vuletic believes.

At the same time, he points out that the UN has a certain interest in concealing the fact that this is another issue where there is no agreement in these challenging times when there is no consensus on many issues in the world, and when the UN is losing its significance.

"This would further undermine the integrity of the UN if they still have it at all," he adds.

In his opinion, closing the session to the public would be more beneficial for Pristina than for Belgrade.

"And just like Western allies, Pristina does not want to emphasize this issue and let it be known how much terror this regime is actually inflicting on the Serbs," Vuletic says.

As he adds, the only new information that could be heard concerning what is happening in Kosovo are the figures related to the current Pristina authorities' terror against the Serbs.

"Numbers and facts are the only things that are new and not some kind of speculation or beliefs, but facts, and that's what should be somehow hidden from the public," he explains.
