Russia turns lights off

Russia explicitly confirms the veto at the Security Council. What next? Possible divison? Possibly. Though that only is too simple to be true. A second Yugoslav-type war? Not likely. But as I say, absence of war does not necessarily mean peace. A series of prolonged conflicts in the region will more likely be the case. Virtually everybody in the Balkans will end up a loser.

Wish us luck!

Draskovic: Russia has not promised veto on Kosovo

Russia has never promised it will use the veto on Security Council due to Kosovo, Serbia Foreign Minister, Vuk Draskovic, has told Beta news agency.

"At this moment, positions of Serbia and Russia are on the same rails...But I believe that you cannot bet on it, in the war for the defense of Serbia's territorial integrity, to look only on Russia's veto", said Draskovic.

He said that Russia has made it clear that it will not support the solution proposed for the status of Kosovo if it clashes with Russia's interests and if both parties don't agree on it, but "it hasn't ventured further".

"I know that Russia, like never before, has signaled that there is a veto possibility...but it's something else to say 'we won't support the solution, and another thing to say that we will act against it," has said Foreign Minister, Vuk Draskovic.
