Sources at NATO are warning about "growing political pressure" both in Belgrade and Pristina. NATO has a mission of the UN in Kosovo and will implement it, while the negotiators on the Kosovo status will decide the meaning of Annex 11 in the Martti Ahtisaari plan, NATO spokesman James Appathurai said Wednesday in Brussels. NATO source: Pressure in Kosovo will grow Appathurai told Beta that the entire Serbian government, not only one party in the ruling coalition, should decide whether Serbia only wants to be in the Partnership for Peace, or become a member of NATO in the future. At the same time, a senior NATO official told journalists that, in the end-game of the Kosovo status talks, political pressure would rise late in the year, and not only in Kosovo, as "we are witnesses to the fact that this is happening in Belgrade too." That pressure is political and we expect all sides, especially those in Kosovo, to remain calm and act through the normal political channels, the official said. There can be no justification for violence and this would cause very bad consequences, said the NATO official, who wished to remain anonymous.

Bure baruta pred eksplozijom: Počinje veliki rat?

Bliski istok, zbog promene ravnoteže snaga i dubokih kriza, pre svega palestinsko-izraelske, može se smatrati buretom baruta i ima potencijal da dovede ne samo do regionalnog sukoba, već i do globalnog konflikta.
