Ahead of his address today at a regional summit in Macedonia, Boris Tadic says the Western Balkans cannot be stable without a Serbia integrated into the EU. The president, and the leader of the Democrats (DS), is attending a two-day summit of central and southeastern European heads of state in the lake resort of Ohrid. Tadic: Serbia in EU, stable Balkans Tadic criticized Macedonia's decision to start border demarcation talks with Kosovo, and asked that Belgrade, along with UNMIK, take part in this process. "As for the legitimacy of Serbia's participation in any demarcation process with neighboring countries, it cannot be contested while there is sovereign Serbia in Kosovo and Metohija, while there is Resolution 1244," he believes. Tadic also added that "since Resolution 1244 has not been annulled, no one can deny Serbia the right to arrange the issue of her own borders". As for the European Union, he was quoted as saying that "Serbia finds the fact that the Stabilization and Association Agreement was signed important". "This is our first contractual relationship with the European Union and I think it's an important step, not only for the citizens of Serbia, but for all southeastern European countries." "It contributes to economic development and political stability and establishment of joint standards. It means Serbia continues on its European path, but does not give up the defense of her territorial integrity," Tadic said in Ohrid. Tadic, right, seen yesterday during a summit session (FoNet)

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.
