The option of sanctions against Iran over its disputed nuclear program is exhausted and the issue should be solved by talks. This is according to Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, who spoke on Monday. Russia urges talks, opposes new Iran sanctions “We consider the road of sanctions against Iran exhausted. To threaten with sanctions and moreover with air strikes is to exclude the possibility of a negotiated solution," RIA Novosti quoted Lavrov as saying. “Isolation or confrontation has no chance of success with regard to Iran,” Lavrov stated. The Russian foreign minisater also said that Russia was working actively with Iran, and that Iran should be invited to join Iran Six talks. The group comprises Russia, the United States, China, Britain, France and Germany, the Russian news agency said, adding that it has been trying since 2003 to convince Iran to halt its uranium enrichment program and to alleviate concerns about its nuclear ambitions. Lavrov said that the new IAEA report did not contain new information, and that the agency should name the source of its information, which analysts say suggests Iran is attempting to build nuclear weapons.

Snažno nevreme stiže u Srbiju

U većem delu Srbije će danas pre podne biti pretežno sunčano, toplo, suvo i vetrovito, uz olujnu košavu u Beogradu, na jugu Banata, u Pomoravlju i donjem Podunavlju, a već u poslepodnevnim satima biće kratkotrajne kiše ili pljuskova.
