    • According to reports, India welcomed the willingness expressed by Serbia and Kosovo to resume their EU-facilitated dialogue. India also expressed hope for reaching concrete progress on the contentious issues. Meanwhile, India’s representative, H S Puri expressed concern over the recent inter-communal violence in parts of Kosovo and urged the international organizations present in the country to prevent the reoccurrence of such incidents and ensure the safety of the minority. 1

    In another development, reports noted that after consulting civil society and advocacy groups, India will push for formulating internet regulation and governance at the UN level. The proposal that has the support of China, if accepted, would lead to control of social media corporations by the UN and its member nations. India also added that the proposal should not be viewed as an attempt by governments to ‘take over’ or ‘regulate and circumscribe the internet’. 2
