NATO Secretary General Andres Fogh Rasmussen says the western military alliance would not meddle in the months-long political crisis in Syria. Rasmussen spoke on Friday for Turkish TV NTV, Russian news agency RIA Novosti reported. NATO won't get involved in Syria conflict “We are not discussing this issue. We have no intention to intervene in Syria. I strongly condemn the security forces’ crackdown on civilians in Syria. I urge the Syrian leaders to accommodate the democratic, legitimate aspirations of the Syrian people," Rasmussen said. "The only way forward in Syria is to introduce freedoms, democracy and accommodate people’s legitimate aspirations." Russia has firmly supported Syrian President Bashar al-Assad during the uprising against his regime. Russia and China vetoed a UN Security Council resolution on Syria, backed by the Arab League and Western nations, to prevent a repetition of “the Libyan scenario.” Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on Wednesday called on the Arab world, the United States and Europe to refrain from passing judgment on the national dialogue in Syria before it has even begun.

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.
