It's a bold and highly respectable move, but beware of what could be the consequences. Yugoslavia was left to destroy by itself BECAUSE it was one of the leaders of the non-aligned movement. When after the end of Cold War only one superpower was left, only one attitude has been considered good: to accept this superpower as the commander-in-chef. If you accept it then you are a good subject, non-terrorist and "democratic", otherwise you are the enemy of the "new world order", so you are a "rogue state", or a "terrorist", or an "un-democratic", who challenges the "credibility" of this new world order. The "neutral" states were useful only as long as the risks of direct territorial confrontation with the other superpower made useful these "neutral" territories. But today, when no other superpower is on the horizon, there is very little chance for "neutral", "non-aligned" attitudes. If you compare the list of the so-called "rogue states" or "dictatorial" states and the one of non-aligned states, you will see that they are very similar, with a few exceptions like India, because it's too big to be transformed in an enemy. So, for the "commander-in-chief", the tentative of still asking for support not to him but to the non-aligned movement, is a terrible act of insubordination, and also an act of roguery, and un-democracy, etc... I hope that Jeremic understands well what he's doing, or that his statement is only an act to obtain more consensus from the serbian nostalgics of the non-aligned movement without any true commitment to what he's saying, or a statement agreed before with the "commander-in-chief" friends. But I think that it could be more effective a behaviour of total loyalty to the "commander-in-chief", and possibly an offer done through a lobby in Washington, which could be lead by an "Atlantic" friend of yours. Let's make an example of offer: "how about 5.000 troops in Afghanistan if you give us back Kosovo?"; they will ask for 10.000 and then you will reach an agreement at 7.500... I know I'm a little joking, and probably it's too late for changing the course of events in any case, but I'm sure that the second behaviour, no matter how unrealistic it could be, would be more realistic than asking for support from India or to other members of the non-aligned movement, or to Russia. India is doing many agreements with United States, and one is on nuclear technology development, "strategical" today, and I don't think it will risk to compromise these agreements for the sake of non-aligned movement. And Russia is more interested to Abkhazia and South Ossetia to be coherent with its principle statements. It sounds very much like "realpolitik", or "double standards policy", or "quid pro quo", but it's how the world of the big powers reasons.
