Beta News Agency October 17, 2008 "Russia unhappy with Kosovo situation" -"It is inacceptable to conduct a policy that characterized the time when the Munich agreement was signed. The violent break-up of the country cannot be allowed.” -Moscow did not support the Montenegrin and Macedonian decisions regarding Kosovo, because they did not contribute to regional stability nor to the legal settlement of the issue. “I am deeply convinced that they made their decisions under great pressure, and these countries have become subject to international blackmail.” GRACANICA -- Russian ambassador to Belgrade Aleksandr Konuzin says that Russia is not happy with the current situation in Kosovo. After talks with the Serb leadership of the Pristina municipality in Gracanica, elected at the May 11 local elections, Konuzin said that Russia considered the EULEX Mission to be illegal, adding that UNMIK was obliged to act in line with UN Security Council orders. The ambassador said that Moscow’s position regarding Kosovo remained unaltered, and that Moscow would keep supporting Serbia in its efforts to prevent the illegal break-up of the country. "It is inacceptable to conduct a policy that characterized the time when the Munich agreement was signed. The violent break-up of the country cannot be allowed,” Konuzin said, adding that Russia would help Serbia to resolve the Kosovo issue legally. Konuzin said that Moscow would continue to provide strong political, moral and humanitarian assistance to Serbia. He added that he had met with UNMIK and KFOR representatives, emphasizing that the the most important thing was that the Serbs and their legal representatives were heard, when it came to the situation and living conditions. Konuzin said that Moscow did not support the Montenegrin and Macedonian decisions regarding Kosovo, because they did not contribute to regional stability nor to the legal settlement of the issue. “I am deeply convinced that they made their decisions under great pressure, and these countries have become subject to international blackmail,” Konuzin said. __________ Information from ESET Smart Security, version of virus signature database 3532 (20081017) __________ The message was checked by ESET Smart Security. http://www.eset.com Serbian News Network - SNN [email protected] http://www.antic.org/
