Addressing the UN General Assembly in New York, Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic condemned the UN members and the west for the violation of Serbia’s sovereignty.

Referring to the endorsement of Kosovo’s independence by the UN and western countries, he said that the UN and the west have failed to explain why they have different points of view on Ukraine and Serbia’s territorial integrity.

Referring to the 1999 NATO bombing of Yugoslavia, he said that we want a clear answer that we have been asking for years, “Why is the truth about the violation of Serbia’s territorial integrity unspoken and what is the difference between the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine and the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Serbia?”

NATO occupied Kosovo in 1999, after a 78-day bombing campaign against what was then Yugoslavia. The province declared independence in 2008 with Western support and was recognized by the US and most of its allies.
