A personal message from Vuk Jeremić
The United Nations has an essential role to play in solving the world’s global problems. To do this, we need a strong and effective multilateral agency, with clarity on the election of the UN Secretary General. As you are aware, I have a passion for United Nations reform and I know I can rely on your support and guidance through the next few months of this campaign.
Welcome on board!
