Serbia's Foreign Minister Vuk Jeremic is today on a one-day visit to Luxemburg and Brussels. There he will confer with European Union Enlargement Commissioner Stefan Fuele. Serbian FM visits Brussels, Luxemburg During his visit to Luxemburg, Jeremic will meet with Parliament Speaker Laurent Mosar and Foreign Minister Jean Asselborn. Yesterday in Belgrade, Jeremic addressed students of the Megatrend University to say that "Serbia will not accept Kosovo's independence, Bosnia-Herzegovina's centralization and its own NATO membership." This, he said, despite the fact that "a part of the international community desires that, because such a solution is not democratic and will not ensure lasting peace and stability". "There is a number of analysts, a number of very strong voices in the world, who view the Balkans through a pair of spectacles made back in the 90s. They say there are three problems and offer the following solutions: Kosovo should become a country, Bosnia should be centralized and all the region's countries should become NATO members," said Jeremic, adding that "the democratically elected Serbian government cannot agree to that." "We cannot agree to Kosovo's independence; we cannot support Bosnia's centralization against the will of its people and political entities, and this country has opted for military neutrality democratically," said Jeremic. The foreign minister added that Serbia's task is to find a solution in line with the democratic will of the Serbian people through dialogue with its European and Euro-Atlantic partners. "It will not be easy. Some of our partners have different opinions that are deep-seated, and we have to be calm and composed, but we must never forget where our lines are drawn and where we wish this country to go," Jeremic stated. He said that the defense of Serbia's territorial integrity in Kosovo remains a priority for the government, as well as integration into the EU, good relations with neighboring countries and developing economic diplomacy. According to Jeremic, "2010 is a key year in history, and Serbia has to use it to find its place in world politics". Vuk Jeremic (Tanjug, file)

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.
