Russia has demanded an urgent meeting of the NATO-Russia Council after George Bush's arms-to-Kosovo announcement. This was confirmed today in Brussels by Moscow's representative to the Alliance, Dmitry Rogozin. Rogozin seeks urgent NATO meeting The United States president yesterday said his country will deliver arms to the Kosovo Albanians, since this will, according to the White House website, "strengthen U.S. security and promote peace in the world". "I have spoken to the NATO secretary-general with a proposal to hold an urgent session, so as to discuss the American plans for an arms shipment for Kosovo," Rogozin told Russia's Itar-Tass news agency. "They said the weapons will be used in the fight against terrorism. At the same time, the current Kosovo authorities are former terrorists. How do you fight terrorism by sending arms to former terrorists," wondered the Russian diplomat. "Washington is in a hurry, it breaks all international agreements according to which Kosovo has no right to form its own armed forces," another, this time unnamed, Russian source was quoted by the agency.
