Why do you think it’s called a loan. There is no such thing as a free lunch, but perhaps you might enlighed the readers and list the all great projects the US/EU have completed for the Kosovars.

One billion dollars is just a tiny fraction of what Serbia needs to rebuild the damage caused by NATO bombing, let alone pay for back salaries owed to it workers and pensioners. If Russia were the true friend Serbia thinks she is, then the loan should be $100 billion. With this paltry sum of $1 billion Serbia will never be able to meet the minimum standards for EU membership and consequently never be able to pay the loan back.
Kosova-USA says, "Sorry Canadian, but you don't know anything about USA.
US gives 3 bilion dolars to Israel and close to 2 bilion to eugypt every single year, and that is free of charge..."
Sorry Kosova, but you need to learn more about the USA.
Among other conditions, Egypt is required by the U.S. to maintain strong security operations along the border with Israel and the Gaza Strip.
Israel is required to spend most of the military aid in the U.S. and their purchases need permission from the U.S. government.
The U.S. uses these and other nations to maintain their own foreign policy needs. As usual, the U.S. and other governments have no friends, only interests.
It's so sweet to have friends in these difficult economic times that can help. AKA Russia-
Serbia is the only country in the Balkans with any future. The USA new it years ago..
This is better than IMF loans... a lot better. I wonder if the Belgrade Metro is part of the infrastructure projects list? It would be awesome if it was. Again, the Russians rescue us.
Ataman, You may know more than me on the Russian front, I can go only on what I read. However, I did grow up during the cold war, I remember every year in school we learned how to make emergency fallout shelters and how to obtain drinking water in case of Nuclear attack. I am sure that this was similar to what was happening in the USSR. While today there is not the Serbian-Albanian hatred between the two peoples there is a very deep rooted mistrust. Between the govts, I think it is more hostile.
As far as the Serbian attitude toward the US read the comments here daily.
This is the loan that Belarus turned down after Russia tried to force it on them.Now Russia is doing a "favor" to Serbia,and helping the little brother. Lukashenko didn't bite,but you guys did.
US gives 3 bilion dolars to Israel and close to 2 bilion to eugypt every single year, and that is free of charge, let alone other countries. you have planty to learn about US Govermant policies.
(Kosova-USA, 5 October 2009 19:26)
and you have plenty learn about economics and the english language...
usa's public debt was $11.4 trillion in june 2009, 81% of their GDP...
Yes that is correct the USA is giving Israel and Egypt aid, but this is borrowed money that has to be repaid by the US taxpayer.
Tell me again this story in 3 years time. Thats when big changes have to occur in the US. Either cut spending or therr will be massive social unrest.
Anyway I'm still waiting for that Albanian run B92 style station, surely with all the aid Kososvo from the US gets it can run a radio station like B92.
Since when lending money to someone with profitable interest rate qualifies as a sign of friendship? Not in my book! Since Russia loves Serbia so much, they should have donated this for free like U.S gave Kosovo $400M several months back.
Remember, this money has to be paid back with a hefty interest rate.I bet you would not be celebrating when the bill is due and your taxes go up to pay for it.
Unfortunately you don't know anything about printing money do you. I bet you don't even know much about the Federal Reserve, or Economics for any sake. Who owns U.S. debt at very high rates? Bet you didn't know that Russia, China and Japan own hordes of U.S. securities...
Now what happens if they sell? I won't tell you, but I'll let you reseach it a bit...
The US is now has a deficit of over 11 TRILLION dollars, 2 Trillion held by China. If China dumped those US Treasury Bills, how is the US going to pay back 2 Trillion dollars.
The US is on the brink of bankruptcy , it happened in Russia, it happened in the Weimer republic of Germany and now the US is ready to default.
The US dollar continues to get bashed in the foreign markets.
Russia does not rely on foreign debt to survive given it's vast untapped nataural resources and unproven oil and gas reserves.
1st- The interest rate from Russia is set lower then IMF loan.
2nd- I don't know home many supper power's are dept free? OH.... Russia is.
3rd. Other countries wish they could have a credit line like this in the balkans.
Note- The US will not be giving anymore billion dolor loans, because they have to borrow first to get the money.
Ha ha ha ha!Free of charge!!!
America is a capitalist country. They don't give anything away unless they can make money on you.
You think America would give Egypt billions of dollars free of charge and let its own people starve? Besided, why haven't Egypt recognized Kosovo if America is such a great friend and contributer?
This is the beginning of the end of Serbia's misguided pursuit of joining the EU.

Sorry Canadian, but you don't know anything about USA.
US gives 3 bilion dolars to Israel and close to 2 bilion to eugypt every single year, and that is free of charge, let alone other countries. you have planty to learn about US Govermant policies. Yet, Russia is giving you 1 bilion dollars(not rubels), but you will pay dearly in near future.
This is great news friends. This is exactly what the NATO/EU corrupt fatcats are afraid of. They are afraid that Serbia will not be dependent on them for money, which they will then use as leverage to basicaly enslave the Serbian population, like they do to all other uderdeveloped (and developed) countries around the world.
It is far far better to owe money to your friend, ally, and brother, than to a stranger who pretends to be your friend but does everything to destroy your freedom and independence at the same time (I am referring mainly to Germany, US, UK).
Great news that we are forging closer and closer economic ties with Russia. Money talks.
Cheers!!
Because usa took advantage of cccp downfall, they grabbed everything. But euro is becoming more and more popular in int'l transactions where us dollar once rulled.
So long as we take 1 billion less from the IMF and the loan terms are better then the IMF and no ridicoulous stipulations are made to push a neo-liberal agenda, it's good.
pss- The dollar for now is used as the measuring currency, but in the near future it will be the Euro.
As I said can the US even offer this type of loan? NO it owes trillions, and had no credit line left with China.
I find it ironic that two countries with their own currencies, and open hatred to the US report monetary exchanges between them in terms of US dollars.
If this were simply so others could understand the amount as (US Dollar is standard for global exchange), then why the solid number. 1 billion US dollars, instead of the conversion of 1 billion rubles or dinar?
For those wishful thinkers that the US is on its knees to the new superpower Russia, seems like there is a ways to go.
there should be no problem, as long it is clear the interest rate and other conditions... Nobody borrows money only on goodwill, specially a country who really needs that money
