Kosovo Foreign Minister Donika Gervalla-Schwarz walks in the hallway of UN Headquarters. She supposed to attend Security Council meeting requested by Russia on 25th anniversary of Nato intervention into Former Republic of Yugoslavia to stop genocide against people of Kosovo. Russia attempted to make parallels between NATO intervention and their own war against Ukraine. There was heated exchange between Ambassadors of France Nicolas De Riviere and Russia Vassily Nebenzia on agenda for the meeting and eventual vote on procedural agenda returned results as 3 in favor (Russia, Algeria, China) and 12 abstained (United Kingdom, United States, Malta, Slovenia, Sierra Leone, Mozambique, Republic of Korea, Ecuador, Japan, France, Switzerland, Guyana), meaning that meeting has been canceled.
