Dmitry Medvedev, busy campaigning ahead of the Sunday elections in Russia, spoke about Serbia. The first deputy premier and president of the Gazprom board of directors, who was in Belgrade two days ago, was campaigning in Nizhniy Novgorod when he said that "Russia will support Serbia in its demand to annul the illegal Kosovo decision, and not only at the UN", Itar-Tass says. "Belgrade can count on Moscow's practical help" This support will be "not only moral, but also practical", Vladimir Putin's favorite to replace him in the March 2 elections said. "They are counting on us. But, this is also about economic support, such as Serbia joining the South Stream pipeline, which will significantly help them solve many economic problems," Medvedev was quoted. According to him, the illegal declaration of Kosovo's independence has jeopardized the safety and security in the whole region. "Americans, of course, risk nothing. America is far away, while a source of instability, drug trade and other evils that will spread in Europe, and over here, is created. That is why the problem of Kosovo, although it seems far away, is actively influencing the life in our country," Medvedev told his voters. As for his impressions from Belgrade, he said they were "very saddening". "Although the country is developing, buildings destroyed during the bombing are a clear reminder that Europe bombed Europe," Medvedev said, in reference to several large buildings in downtown Belgrade that remain damaged from the 1999 NATO bombing campaign.
