Darko Vojinovic / THE ASSOCIATED PRESS file photo By Mike Blanchfield The Canadian Press Wed., Nov. 16, 2016 OTTAWA Canada has won the support of Serbia in its bid for a temporary seat on the United Nations Security Council in 2020, even though Canada went to war against it 17 years ago, says the country foreign minister. The public endorsement by a European country, albeit a small one, is important. Canada lost its last Security Council bid in 2010 to Portugal a loss that was at least partially attributable to what many analysts viewed as the solidarity of the European countries voting in a bloc for one of their own. Canada is running in the 2019 election for a two-year term starting the following year. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
