Jeremić will attempt to secure the support of these countries for the United Nations General Assembly in September, when Serbia plans to launch an initiative demanding a International Court of Justice opinion on the legality of the Kosovo Albanians' unilateral declaration of independence.

The Non-Aligned Movement was founded more than 50 years ago and it now rallies 118 countries. Belgrade was one of its founders and most prominent leaders.
