UN General Assembly
2012

﻿First of all, allow me to extend to Mr. Vuk Jeremič my sincere congratulations on his election as President of the General Assembly at its sixty-seventh session. I am convinced that his extensive professional experience will contribute to the successful work of the this session of the Assembly of our universal Organization. It is my great pleasure to convey my greetings to Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and to express my country’s sincere appreciation for his tireless efforts towards achieving the goals of the United Nations. Once again, recent world developments have proved that it is impossible to address global and regional issues without strengthening the central role of the United Nations in international affairs or without collective initiatives in world politics that fully respect the norms of international law. In that regard, it has become obvious that the Organization needs rational reform, as a result of which a renewed United Nations will emerge that will be able to respond quickly and appropriately to world developments and to effectively meet the numerous global challenges and threats of the next generation.
