President Boris Tadic says that relations between Serbia and Montenegro are "worse than before". He assessed that it is important to do everything for them to improve in an accelerated and jointly planned process. “Time to turn new page in relations” "Serbia is ready to turn a new page in relations with Montenegro, which implies the honoring of state interests of both countries," Tadic said in an interview for the Podgorica-based daily Dan. Tadic announced that he will visit Podgorica when he receives the official invitation of his Montenegrin counterpart Filip Vujanovic. He stressed that Serbia will not deny hospitality to newly appointed Montenegrin Ambassador in Belgrade Igor Jovovic because of Podgorica's decision to establish diplomatic relations with Pristina, adding that this would not be the adequate measure at the moment. Tadic pointed out that "the relation with Kosovo-Metohija has undoubtedly increased the differences in official policies of Belgrade and Podgorica." "The recognition of Kosovo and establishing of diplomatic relations with Pristina at the time which is of particular political significance for Serbia is partly the attempt of Montenegro and certain international factors to make relative the proceedings that Serbia has instituted before the International Court of Justice (ICJ)," Tadic stressed. He said that those two Podgorica's political moves do not contribute to the improvement of relations with Serbia, adding that Serbia will not make relations with Montenegro even more difficult as it is not in the country's or in the region's best interest. However, Serbia must make it clear what is acceptable for it and what is not, Tadic said, underscoring that no one in Montenegro should think that Serbia is indifferent towards the issue of preserving its own integrity in Kosovo.

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.
