00:00 by Western delegations, their attempt to advance
00:03 one-sided rules of the game as part of the rules-based order.
00:07 We urge members of the Security Council
00:08 to adopt a principled position in this issue
00:10 and to speak out against such approaches.
00:13 We regret that the Albanian presidency
00:15 has demonstrated blatant disregard
00:17 for consensual and practices of the Security Council.
00:20 They have placed their NATO political
00:23 and ideological beliefs above the obligations
00:26 of the Presidency of the Security Council,
00:28 which is a guardian for the procedures
00:30 and should adopt an impartial position.
00:33 Unfortunately, Albania has been unable to manage this today.
00:37 Thank you.
00:39 - I must say that coming from you,
00:42 all this lecture of violating the rules in this building
00:46 is quite an impressive shoot.
00:49 But as far as you repeat it many times,
00:56 that the violation here is about President Zelensky
01:00 speaking before the Council members,
01:06 there is a solution for this if you agree.
01:12 You stop the war and President Zelensky
01:15 will not take the floor.
01:17 So what made him here important
01:23 and what makes important for all of us
01:25 to hear him first and then discuss
01:28 is made from you, not from us.
01:30 - Mr. President, I wish to draw your attention
01:33 to the fact that you today are acting
01:36 as President of the Security Council,
01:38 not speaking in your national capacity
01:40 as a representative of Albania.
01:41 Your objective is to conduct a meeting
01:44 as is enshrined in the rules of procedure
01:47 of the Security Council instead of providing
01:49 political assessments in your capacity
01:51 as the President of the Security Council.
01:54 Thank you.
01:54 - I just responded to you after you addressing me
01:58 as the Albanian Prime Minister
02:00 and after you continuing to say incorrect things
02:04 about what the procedure is here.
02:09 If you don't want me to answer as an Albanian Prime Minister
02:15 don't provoke me as such.
