If China or Russia interfered in Sweden's domestic elections, I wonder how they'd react? With the same smarmy grins? I doubt it. Sweden, like most of the EU, is a hypocritical country that has always applied double standards to the Serbs when compared with the West's fascist allies in the Balkans.

What makes Sweden and other western European countries any less imperialist than the US government? Absolutely nothing.

The EU should show more respect for the Serbian people's wishes. The linkage between EU/Kosovo expressed by this man is to save the face of the EU and to impose on the Serbian people.

Kosovo is Serbian territory and Serbia is being punished because the people want to keep it. A perfectly good compromise was on offer - strong autonomy, but instead the EU still wanted to punish democratic Serbia because they haven't forgotten Milosevic yet, even though he was sent to the Hague.

Kosovo has been seized corruptly by ethnically motivated Albanians - that's what caused the war in the first place. It is not (nor will it ever be) multicultural in the eyes of the Albanians.

This situation is a failure of EU and US diplomacy.

Eu has again performed it's usual trick: thrown on the sidewalk a wallet with thread attached to it. When Serbs bend down to pick it up, EU guys in the bushes pull the thread...

I just don't know how good laughs they get.

And Bildt's talk about similar/different standards! Something very unbelievable talk if you forget the wallet on the sidewalk!

Mr Bildt, I expected more from you as you are one of the few that does have a reasonable thing to say...

But this today, that our EU future depends of the elections is simply to much. Let me put it this way:

Couple of months ago we voted here in Serbia, it was difficult but we made it...

Couple of weeks afterwards everyone knows what your reward for the Presidential election results was!

“We shouldn’t apply different standards for the other Balkan states,” Bildt underlined.

Oh really? So if self determination is good for albanians in Serbia, then why is it not good for Serbs in Bosnia, or Serbs in Kosovo? You are a hypocrite Mr. Bildt, and don't you see how ridiculous and unjust your statements are?
Serbs can see right through your anti-Serb double standards, so I suggest you stick to worrying about Sweden, you have lost Serbia.
