Ambassador Botsan-Kharchenko: returning the Kosovo issue to the UN Security Council is progress. According to him, this is not progress at the level of a reversal in resolving the situation with Kosovo, but the first step and a glimmer of hope that everything is going in a positive direction.

Russian's first deputy permanent representative to UN, Dmitry Polyansky, said that the “hot spot” in the Gaza Strip soon risks adding another one - in the Balkans. On February 2, Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic requested an urgent meeting of theUN Security Council on the Kosovo Issue.
