Russia’s envoy to NATO Dmitry Rogozin says it’s unrealistic for Russian troops and police to return to Kosovo. Rogozin added that the final decision for this would rest with the Russian president. "Russian troops won't return to Kosovo" “There’s no reason for Russia to return to the Balkans militarily. I think that the arrival of Russian troops to Kosovo would impede Serbia from defending itself, as I believe Serbia has all the capacities to do so by itself,“ he told Vecernje Novosti. The Russian envoy said that Pristina’s unilateral independence declaration could be a signal for the Serbs in the Republic of Srpska, adding that labeling Kosovo a unique case was “nonsense.“ “If someone takes Serbia’s territory from it, then Serbia has the right to seek compensation for that loss, including the Republic of Srpska, as the rule of state borders’ inviolability has been abandoned and those who have recognized Kosovo must bear this in mind,“ he warned. Rogozin added that Russia knows that the West is trying to introduce Kosovo to certain UN forums via the back door, but that Moscow would block such attempts. “We won’t allow any sort of independent life for the state of Kosovo as it is a part of Serbia, a part of Serbian territory, and it can only become a state with Belgrade’s approval,“ said the Russian NATO envoy. He pledged that Russia would do everything to return international legal order to its prior standing. Rogozin said that he supported the idea of UNMIK remaining in Serb-majority areas, as, in his opinion, the EULEX mission was illegal. Dmitry Rogozin (Tanjug)

Bure baruta pred eksplozijom: Počinje veliki rat?

Bliski istok, zbog promene ravnoteže snaga i dubokih kriza, pre svega palestinsko-izraelske, može se smatrati buretom baruta i ima potencijal da dovede ne samo do regionalnog sukoba, već i do globalnog konflikta.
