Russia's outgoing president, Vladimir Putin, today sent a letter to Serbia's caretaker government head, Vojislav Kostunica. Serbia, Putin said, can count on Russia's firm support for its Kosovo status policy. Putin to Kostunica: Count on our staunch support "Russia's stance remains unchanged. We believe that the unilateral declaration of independence has dealt a serious blow to the principles of international law," Putin, who is expected to take over as prime minister, said in a message to the Serbian premier, set to battle to retain his position in the Serbian elections next Sunday. "We are ready to confront this dangerous trend with joint efforts. You can count on our staunch support and solidarity," Putin wrote. He further said his country is looking to establish "close cooperation with Serbia, in a wider circle of international issues, in the name of peace and stability in the Balkans, and a Europe without divisions". "The Russian authorities are firmly dedicated to improving our relations in other sectors, including perfecting the contractual-legal foundations, developing industrial and transport cooperation, spreading of cultural, scientific, educational and youth exchange," Putin stated in his message. "I count on the deepening of cooperation between the Democratic Party of Serbia, which you lead, and which maintains partnership with United Russia," Putin wrote to Kostunica. "Such inter-party cooperation will contribute to a further development of the Russo-Serbian ties, which we have managed to raise to a quality level during these last several years," Putin concluded.
