The picture taken on February 18, 2008 shows Boris Tadic, President of the Republic of Serbia, addresses the Security Council meeting concerning the situation in Kosovo in New York. "If the UN Security Council does nothing to stop Kosovo from seceding, it will send a message to the world that no country's sovereignty and borders are safe," said Tadic said on Monday. However, the 15-nation council remained deeply divided over Kosovo and took no action at an emergency meeting held after the United States and major European Union powers recognized the former Serbian province as an independent state.
