The Secretary-General met today, 10 April 2013, with H.E. Mr. Tomislav Nikolic, President of the Republic of Serbia. They discussed today’s General Assembly thematic debate on the role of international criminal justice in reconciliation.

The Secretary-General recalled that earlier in the day he had stressed the United Nations’ unshakeable commitment to continue to support the workings of international justice and the role of international tribunals, as critical instruments to combat impunity.
 

The Secretary-General also used this opportunity to express his hope that Belgrade and Pristina would continue to engage in dialogue under the auspices of the European Union with a view to achieve forward-looking outcomes.
