Serbia Backs Egypt’s Bid for UNESCO Director-General: Friendship or Political Play?
Serbia has officially thrown its support behind Egypt’s candidate, Khaled El Anani, for the position of UNESCO Director-General. Prime Minister Prof. Dr. Đuro Macut emphasized Serbia’s active participation in implementing UNESCO conventions and international programs, while also highlighting the threats to Serbian cultural and religious heritage in Kosovo and Metohija.
Egypt promises to strengthen UNESCO’s role in sustainable development, education, and combating poverty and climate change. But can Egypt deliver on these ambitious goals? And what does Serbia stand to gain from this backing?
Prime Minister Macut stressed the traditional friendship between Serbia and Egypt, but is this just diplomatic formalities or genuine cooperation? UNESCO is a key organization for preserving world culture and education, and Serbia hopes to protect its interests, especially regarding its cultural heritage.
Supporting Egypt is not just a political move; it’s a signal that Serbia wants to be an active player in global cultural and educational matters. Will this bring real change or just remain words on paper?
What do you think? Is this sincere cooperation or just another political show? Drop your thoughts and let’s get the conversation rolling!
