UN Parliamentary Hearing on Conflict Resolution and Peaceful Future

MPs Snezana Paunovic and Usame Zukorlic represented the National Assembly at the Parliamentary Hearing at the United Nations, organised by the Inter-Parliamentary Union, in New York on 9 February 2024. This year's theme was "Putting an end to conflicts: Prescriptions for a peaceful future".


At the same time, the National Assembly delegation supported the President of the Republic of Serbia Aleksandar Vucic and attended the extraordinary session of the United Nations Security Council on the situation in Kosovo-Metohija, held on Thursday, 8 February 2024.

In the course of the debate at the Parliamentary Hearing, Snezana Paunovic called for "the rejection of double standards in international relations", adding that "Serbs in Kosovo-Metohija are experiencing unprecedented torture". She stressed that "it is unacceptable that a community in the 21st century should be deprived of its fundamental rights to movement, normal life, access to justice, healthcare and education in its own language." The Kosovo administration works on this every day and has the support of the Quinta and some countries of the European Union for such behaviour." She also warned that "one cannot talk about preserving peace and a peaceful future, if at the same time it supports and carries out persecution and terror against the endangered Serbian people on Kosovo-Metohija". "There is no place for hypocrisy in international communication if we want a world without conflicts," Paunovic concluded.

About 150 MPs from over fifty member states of the Inter-Parliamentary Union around the world took part in this Parliamentary Hearing.
