It would become clear whether the international community thinks it is "recommended and desirable" to use physical violence in order to achieve political goals, said Jeremic.
The minister noted that the session in New York will reveal the international community's position regarding acts of aggression, adding that Serbia considers the events in Kosovo that took place over the past weeks "an attempt of aggression".
"Aggression must neither be tolerated nor rewarded," e said, noting that Serbia will defend that stance "using all available resources and arguments".
"Serbia considers this to be unacceptable and that problems can only be solved through dialogue, while unilateral use of physical violence is unacceptable," Jeremic said.
He noted that the UN Security Council session should be held by the end of the month, but the exact date of the sitting has not been specified yet.
"We suffer obstructions, and we recently had one such case, and now the same arguments are being voiced again," Jeremic said, adding that Serbia would engage in intensive contacts with all UN Security Council members, especially those who support the country's position.
It was previously announced on the UN website that the session would take place on August 24.
