Unilateral solutions should not be enforced during mediation, and no cause should be given to suspect a mediator of being biased or inclined in favor of one of the sides, Churkin said, speaking at the UN Security Council session dedicated to mediation and resolving of conflicts held on Tuesday evening.
Problems inevitably occur when a mediator fails to meet any of the set demands, Ambassador Churkin said.
It is sufficient to remember the situation with the resolving of the Kosovo issue, Churkin said.
