Jovanović confers with the UN Resident Coordinator in the Republic of Serbia

The meeting focused on modalities of cooperation between the Republic of Serbia and UN development agencies, as well as on progress in finalizing the draft text of the five-year United Nations Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework for the Republic of Serbia (2026–2030). This Framework constitutes a key instrument for the analysis, planning, and implementation of UN system development activities at the national level, in full alignment with the 2030 Agenda.

Special emphasis was placed on the forthcoming participation of the Serbian delegation at the 80th session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York, which will provide an important opportunity to present Serbia’s priorities within the framework of multilateral cooperation.

State Secretary Jovanović underlined the obligation to respect UN Security Council Resolution 1244 and the principle of status neutrality with regard to Kosovo and Metohija, particularly in the context of the activities of the Office of the Development Coordinator in Pristina, stressing that this represents a necessary precondition for safeguarding the credibility and effectiveness of the United Nations system.
