Putin: Independence harmful and dangerous

Very well said, Vladimir. Spoken like a true statesman.

So, Putin is opposing Kosovo independence because he cares for United Kingdom and Spain (both of which support independence). Well, I knew that he is doing it for our own good....

And if he was right!

Years ago, I was for the partition of Kosovo. It would be PLAN B and possibly less 'dangerous' as Putin says. It is always dangerous to create a 'precedent'!

God bless you Vlad!You really are God's gift to the Russia and rest of the free world!With you, Russia will again retake its super power status in 10-12 years from now and then we will finally have balance again in multi polar world-NEW new world order!

of course the Russians have also interests, in international affairs nothing is based on love or sympathy.

but the arguments Mr.Putin is mentioning are profound and convincing.

only pro-independence-writers will say something against it.

"Putin said, that such developments would reflect in the Basque regions, Scotland and especially in the Balkans.

“Why would we provoke all that, it’s harmful and dangerous,” Putin concluded."

As if he gives a %$^& about their independence or troubles. IF Britain supports independence, do you think they fear Scotland? Putin is only moving his people towards self destruction...AGAIN!! Good for him, western money can easily be diverted from russia to newer markets in NE China and Timor and other Asian states.

I think we should not waste time what a alleged criminal and former KGB person called Putin says. He will not be able to take a decision for Kosova and can not prevent Kosova from becoming independent.

It is really said to see how Serbs see him as a savior for a cause that is just lost. Vive la liberte, vive Kosova independence, with peaceful means or with war, in either way Kosova will have to be independent.

Who cares more than UK about Scotland or Spain for Basques, but They support the indipendecnce of Kosovo. You can see that that Putin does not answer the question on the veto issue. Despite the fact that Russia has used this case to return in the int. affairs again it will not isolate theirself from all over the world. There are very few cases in int. relations that has support from such a number of countries (US and EU, Balkans (apart of Serbs) and the Assian countries (apart of Russia (China and Indonesia seems to abstain).

You think Russia has foreign investors? Ur funny.

Hypocrite!

Along with terrorism and natural cataclisms, Russia is among the most important threats to humanity. The "Russia is Gog" saying of the cold-war era isn`t over yet...

No Lorena, the EU will continue pouring Euros into Russia - they depend on Russia's natural resources which are a lot more important than Kosovo.

Serbia will not stop Kosovo becoming an Independent Country no will Russia for as long as USA and UK supports Kosovo.

Putin told the German magazine that he would have long since suggested a compromise "if he knew one".

This speaks for itself. All the rest is only hot air. Perfect style of a perfect Padrino.

Every intelligent educated rational European understands the reality that Vladimir Putin is the single most important man for the long term security and stability of their European homeland.Infantile declarations by some commentators here do not change this reality whether Americans such as myself like this fact or not is irrelevant.The US is the child of Europe and it is high time for the parents to exert themselves in their own European household.

Independence = respecting human rights and the only viable solution to the matter.
Whats wrong with giving people their freedom? Its really sad that in the 21st century the world drags around like this because of dodgy countries like Russia and think alike ex/communist states. , exKGB president leading Russia = you'd want to leave that country under the cover of darkness asap.
Freedom and self determination are universal rights. Certain excommies countries dont feel good with the new world but this is the reality now. The values and principles of the West are dominating, not only because of the force but because democracy is the only long term systems that protects humanity.
Free Europe from soviet relics.
Europeans, unite now!

Lorena do you know where East Timor is located? It’s like a spit in the Ocean. As to Europe diverting their money to Northern China you need to know that Russia and China are major trading partners and co-operate militarily. Certainly Europe invests in China but since Russia is, as I hope you know, the largest nation in the world and a major supplier in natural resources it is unlikely that your hopes will be realized.

All you Serb guys that talk about new mighty Russia..WAKE UP! It is a funny statement. Oil, gas and minerals cannot make a superpower. Russia cannot compete in key markets of industrial and consummer goods. In none! Russians are very gifted people and I profoundly respect and love them but they will not be able to rise up based on the model they have chosen. They will never be superpower again like USA or EU or China, but definitely they will be an important country to be reckoned with like Japan or Turkey or Brazil, thats it all.

Here is the OFFICIAL US policy on Kosovo. I hope Princip you shall get the message from these lines..check..

Lorena darling Russia doesnt actually need western money considering it's own resources its completely self sufficient.

A Scottish partition would become a reality i agree and alot of the north sea oil resourves would disappear from London's power.
Free country anyone? I got a majority in my local area whos for president? me! haha!

Even Vladimir Putin said that he does not know any compromised colution... This means that he is proving it himself that there is no need for more negotiations as there is no compromised solutions, there is no agreement between serbs and Albanians.
Kosova will be independent, Russia will not use veto, this is the truth, like it or not.
The true statesman of Russia will abstain and will try to use the Kosova case for his favors in the Russian world, Serbia will be left all alone by Russia too.

I truly do not know if it is better for Serbia being supported by Russia or, by the contrary, being left alone.
In my opinion Russia, and more precisely Putin, is not a reliable allied.
Putin is playing a very dangerous game with NATO and EU: by one side he says that Russia is ready to aim its nuclear missiles at Europe and USA, by the other side Russia's high officials offer USA to build up a joint antimissile system.
Serbia should choose its role in the world: sharing the friendship with Russia, China, North Korea, Sudan, Venezuela, Burma and Cuba or being part of the "free" (at the end, in the West, we are enjoying more freedom and wealth than in other areas of the world) and developed world.

Trust me Russia will VETO.
KOSOVO = SERBIA
CCCC

Hah, lets see ally ourselves with RUSSIA and CHINA. Both with booming economies or stand by the old and now CRUMBLING US and a MORE and MORE depended EU.

We will be hearing a different tune after July 1st when Portugal is at the helm of the EU.

Again, some of frineds in here want something that does not belong to them. Tell me Serbian friends, can your house be mine?

Can any of you friends Serbs, British or any other tell me what would you do if you were in these situations:

a)living in a place where you were born and someone comes from very far away occupies your place and tells you that it is not yours;
b)tells you in which language you should speak
c)changes your name from i.e. John Curtis to Jovan Kurtovic because that’s how it is supposed to be according to them;
d)does not give you a right to work because you don’t have the correct name no matter whether you have the qualifications;
e)you do not have the right to express yourself because you are not told so;
f)if you try to say something that you don’t like you get punished;
g)it has the rights to rape, kill, massacre and do whatever they wish because they have the power;
and many other things of which the Serbian nation is not really proud
Do you think you could stand all these and not raise against?
These things are all done even though their constitution use to say different.
Now, would you trust such a state again?

These are the basic that a person needs to live normal life. Imagine if all of these were done to any of you for 100 years. Imagine, things like these were told to us by our grandfathers, what means that these atrocities were committed long time before and there is a lot of evidence to support this. If interested see the book ”Facts that don’t keep silent”, book compiled form foreigners not Albanians.

Friends, it is really not fair to support the atrocities done, it is against any law.

So, listen to the people of Kosova what they want and than act accordingly. At the moment the majority wants Independence. So let it be, it is their in the interest of the region.
Kosova Albanians are not asking any land from Serbia they just want to have a normal life in the land that has been theirs for centuries without occupiers, rappers, killers, psycho maniacs from Serbian Armies

Ther would have been many more things that we could have shared only if we did not have to leave our houses and escape from terror

Thanks B92

Albanians here should slowly get it. perhaps they should leave the computer, go into another room, close the door, and THINK about the future. I mean, think, not dream. be realistic, otherwise you are only kidding yourselves.

Yes russia's reserves are actually under the majority control of Muslim X commie states like Chechnya and Kazakhstan.. And, yes, if it wasn't for Exxon/BP/Texaco etc..money and World bank/IMF loans there'd be no industry or working class in Russia. BTW, Moscow is only able to collect a share % from these nation's sales.

Another point, russia was never a superpower. WMD do not make for a nation a superpower, a majority of its people contributing to the whole body of their nation, well fed, educated, healthy and positive contributions is what makes a nation a superpower. Not just a few thousand nuclearized missiles. What russia was and now is showing the world again, what it was..is just a pretentious superpower bully that can't manage to get its way with simple discussions.
Putin needs to take a lesson from Theodore Roosevelt..Speak softly and carry a big stick.. Repetitive threats gets one nowhere..and You Serbs should know that by now. Your nation is just another example of a bully nation who has yet to come to terms with the truth of your nation's crimes against your own X citizens. It just makes sense to the rest of us why these people decided to become X citizens..
