国际英语新闻：Serbia submits draft resolution on Kosovo to UN

BELGRADE, July 28 (Xinhua) -- Serbia on Wednesday submitted to the General Assembly of the United Nations a draft resolution which clearly points out that unilateral secession is not an acceptable way of resolving territorial issues and calls for finding a solution through dialogue.

The submission comes a week after the International Court of Justice (ICJ) ruled that Kosovo's unilateral declaration of independence from Serbia didn't break any international law.

Given that the ICJ did not confirm the right of Kosovo Albanians to secede from Serbia, the draft resolution states that unilateral secession is not an acceptable way of settling territorial issues, the Serbian Foreign Ministry said in a statement.

The draft resolution also contains an invitation to find a mutually acceptable solution to all outstanding issues through dialogue.

Serbia submitted the draft resolution to the UN after the completion of consultations with a broad circle of international factors, including all the permanent members of the UN Security Council, the statement reads.

The draft resolution states that the General Assembly takes note of the ICJ advisory opinion issued on July 22.

The text states that the UN General Assembly urges the parties to find a mutually acceptable solution to all outstanding issues through peaceful dialogue, in the interest of peace, security and cooperation in the region.
