And guess what happens to country's that run blindly after the US.

Let's see, they get to sell theire company's very cheap to US conglamarats, they get ripped off theire natural resources and as return the US leave's them with hughe pollution, they have to send troops to fight wars on behalve off the US.

Some folks here give comments to discredit Russia as if we follow our ouwn goals and don't care about the Serbs. I can tell you what the Russian interests are :

1. We are interested to let the peoples around the world know that we no longer betray our allies.

2. We are interested to let the Golden Billion in the US and the EU to know that their time to judge peoples is over. That there's a power small nations can rely on.

3. We are interested to be so strong in every sphere that the US and it's European coward puppets cannot ignore us in world matters.

4. We are interested to become a moral leader of the world outside the Golden Billion.

5. We are going to reveal that DEMOCRACY is just one of the ways of keeping state power in the hands of the same elite. And when it does not work the double stantard instrumentations are switched on.

Such are some of the Russian interests.

Serbia need and have someone who understand what has been posed on it's soverenity. Why are you guys so much against anything that most Serbs support? Stop this shame that is comming from "Democratic" West. I commend Russia's, Spain's, Slovak's, China's, and hundreds of other countries around the globe that give support for international law and to Serbia these days.

I have found no Russia friendly comments to this small piece of news. It's very good cause it means only that we are on the right way. Russia needs just a several day pause to recharge the President. Then I am sure we shall provide the Serbs help.

Everybody knows that Putin cares much of the public opinion in Russia. But the Russians will not forgive a second betrayal of the Serbs. So there is no basis for panic. The battle has just started and nothing is lost yet.

Only the Serb leaders must be as decisive as their people. Then we can find a compromise acceptable both for us and the Albanians.

But if Tadic goes on weakening his position there will be no result. Even if it is so you must never make such stupid confessions. Together we can handle it !

It seems that Russia will purchase another profitable business sector from Serbia in return to a speech against Independence of Kosova...

capo di tutti capi - YESSS!!!

Russia has King Kong sized balls, and I like balls. Sorry about the TEAM AMERICA movie line. On a more serious note; what Russia is doing takes lots of fortitude, you are becoming the leader of the new FREE WORLD while the old free world becomes less & less free everyday, unless you consider having the choice of buying 100 varieties of toothpaste freedom.

Medvedev, along with his two lackey subordinates, is on his way to Belgrade to prepare the Serbs for more bad news. It seems that Russia is having second thoughts and is on the verge of recognizing Kosova, not that the Albanians really need the endorsment on a second rate failed superpower. (Michael John, 24 February 2008 15:36)

Another Albanian 'expert'. These truly are amazing people. Next they'll be defying the laws of gravity.

oh, ok, tadic is back in the equation. all the better :) tadic will tell medvedev what tadics 'eu friends' think about all this. or maybe medvedev will tell tadic that he knows before tadic opens his mouth. oh, if only i could be a fly on THAT wall! :))

as for
"it seems that Russia will purchase another profitable business sector from Serbia in return to a speech against Independence of Kosova...'

let's just replace 'speech' with 'action plan details'. purchases will happen, no doubt about it. defending your country doesnt come cheap.

The visit is a very good sign for the Serbs. Medvedev have no problems to be elected. He has only the problem of legitimation of the results of the elections. So he is not interested to tease the West. Still he visits our historical ally and it is a very good sign for the Serbs.

By the way Russia is also interested to show the whole world we able to solve such complicated problems and that we don't care of the press upon our policy. So the Serbs should be more optimistic.

2. There is already a Superpower (only one exists) that small nations can rely on, provide these (not so small) nations do not commit ethnic cleansing against their citizens.
--

Well, too bad that excludes the Albanians. Not only did they ethnically cleans the Serbs out of Kosovo, but also the Gorani, Turks, Roma and everyone else non-Albanian.

Some much for a super power that gets kicked up the backside by the Teleban, Iraqi insurgents and Somalis!

I wonder whether the Serbs will give it one final kick or whether it's been kicked enough!

I'm from the Netherlands, and i certainly see the growing resentment for the US of A.

Here in the Netherlands political parties that are no frends of the USA keep growing and as for Germany, 'die links' (the left) partie is growing even much more rapidly and they are no frends off the US either.

This development has started ever since 9/11 and the ever more opressive attitude of the US.

I would like to keep a perspective on this: The term 'superpower' is only meaningful when that superpower can unilaterally attack a sovereign nation, and take it over.

If the US-Russia conflict should exacerbate, the US couldn't possibly expect to be able to attack Russia and take it over. A war such as that is only done with nukes (in which both sides lose), or a proxy war over Kosovo.

A proxy war can go on as long each side is willing to keep it going, at which point it becomes a war of economic strength, i.e. who can last the longest.

Only an air-head would say that there is only one supper power in the world!

In fact there are 3 super powers in the world, 1. USA, 2. China, 3. Russia, and within the next 3 to 5 years there will be a fourth super power - India!

Serbia has on its side 2 of the 3 current Super Powers of the world and the support of a soon to be fourth super power!

2 OUT 3 ain't bad!

Muslim Kosovo's future is bleak at best, to date they have the support of 1 super power and 16 American poodle states behind them while Serbia has 2 super powers and the rest of the world behind them. this of course is as of today, we'll see what tomorrow brings!

What everybody forget is that YU (and Serbia included) was the best communist country to live in the 80's, just because it keep a good distance from the so-called 'friends' russians. Go friends with them, and you'll finish like Belarus, Kazaksthan, Turkmenistan...

@ arben

maybe he just looks if u.s. steel serbia or raiffeisen serbia are of benefit for russian oligarchs? smells like a holding-change!

by the way, what´s the negative subtone of your comments all about?

if it´s about your logic, one could imagine that the people in belorus or abchasia live like animals even without electricity, as the u.s. and islamic-"brotherhod"-backed pseudostates of rest-bosnia or rest-kosovo?

use the internet, don´t just listen to al anwar tirana or cnn!

Medvedev is on a mission to resue Serbia's remaining assets by promising an obstructionst position in return for buying Serbia companies at significantly marked down prices.All he needs is to display his Kosova coupon to get his discounts.Smart shopper he is.

Medvedev, along with his two lackey subordinates, is on his way to Belgrade to prepare the Serbs for more bad news. It seems that Russia is having second thoughts and is on the verge of recognizing Kosova, not that the Albanians really need the endorsment on a second rate failed superpower.
The Albanian Kosovars have all the recognition they need from the US, GB, Germany, France, Italy and all the other European nations that really count. Cyprus, Slovakia, Greece and a few other weak states can hold their collective breath till the cows come home. It is not going to make one bit of difference!

The politians in both Serbia and Russia care more about personal financial well being rather than their own people. Soon we will find out where the roots of "dirty business" are between Serbia and Russia in the name of "international law"...when it comes to Kosova.

Capo,
And how might:
1. Russia convince the world that it will no longer betray their (former) allies without being laughed in its face.

2. There is already a Superpower (only one exists) that small nations can rely on, provide these (not so small) nations do not commit ethnic cleansing against their citizens.

Your other three assertions concerning Russian interests are too ridiculous to address.

Michael John,

1. Russia itself used to be an occupied country headed by Deputy Secretary of State Mr. Eltsyn (agent FUDDLE) and that's the reason we betrayed the Serbs.

2. Sure you're right !There's only one superpower and it's the US. But every morning there's a man in Kremlin who desides if he wants his friend George and his superpower people to have their breakfasts or it's gonna be their last day in life. So this red button is a good morning shower before the American Breakfast of your Superpower.Don't you find this button makes the world safer ?

When will Miss Rice visit Belgrade to show her friendship to democratic Serbia?

Come to that, does anyone know when she was last there?

She has humiliated Serbia as she intended, and as yet Russia has not reacted. (See Link).

Congratulations Miss Rice.

Tell a Serb he cannot do something and see the result.I know Tadic is there to keep Srbs weak he was placed there by the west.Rusija the knife that cuts through Srbija will cut deep enough to reach you do not doubt me.Help now.

Michael John,

Why did the USA, your noble "superpower", not intervene when genocide took place in Darfur?

Medvedev tomorrow in Belgrade. Kostunica will tell Serbian people that Medvedev will save Serbia. So tomorrow Belgrade is christening a new Father of Serbia and soon his photo will replace Vladimir Putin’s face at protests in Belgrade attacking western embassies and in Mitrovica trying to attack Albanians. Serbian people should understand that enemies - are with in - and Medvedev after finishing his -business - duties will go back to Russia.

It is sad to see now that everything is shifting towards a confrontation of the great powers over Kosovo. From all I read around here I have noticed that the alabanian side is showing off with the US, while Serbia with Russia. I think that in the game starting now to develop only the great powers are winning, not Serbia. I do not see a concern for peoples lives and wellbeing in Kosovo or for Serbia-s future, but only pride and interests of the great powers. I think serbians should trust only their own and try to find a way to helpthemselves.

@ Ronald

Nobody is talking about run blindly after US. Just being in a safe distance from Russia.

I don't know where are you from, but talking about being ripped off from US conglomerate, for me it's pretty much the same as being ripped of from Japanese, French, British, German or whatever conglomerates.

There is no other way of life in the world in the 21st century. Ah, I forgot... You can have a nice life as the guys in Cuba, North Korea, Burma...

Let's be ripped off in peace at least

@ Ronald

I see... When the West beat the ones like you, back in the 40's they need to ally with the Russians even they didn't like much that idea. Now you're taking sides with Russia to beat USA. How nice. HIstory repeats.
