Joint Serbian Russian policy conducted to safeguard
peace and stability in Balkans
-[T]he joint Serbian and Russian policy, which is
based on respect for the fundamental principles of the
UN Charter, is being conducted solely to safeguard
peace and stability in the Balkans, and thereby, all
of Europe.
Belgrade – Serbian Prime Minister Vojislav Kostunica
said that the statement by Russian President Vladimir
Putin in defence of international law is the biggest
support to Serbia in defending Kosovo-Metohija.
In a statement to the news agency Fonet, Kostunica
said that Serbia does not seek anything more than
abidance by UN rules which are valid for other
countries in the world and should also be valid for
Serbia.
According to Kostunica, the joint Serbian and Russian
policy, which is based on respect for the fundamental
principles of the UN Charter, is being conducted
solely to safeguard peace and stability in the
Balkans, and thereby, all of Europe.
It is of extraordinary significance that Russia is
offering support to the Serbian nation and to Serbia
in the struggle to secure respect for law and basic
justice, stressed Kostunica.
That is why Serbia, said Kostunica, especially values
President Putin’s stand and it is clear that Serbia
regards Russia’s principled politics as an affirmation
of the deep friendship between the two nations.
The joint Serbian and Russian policy and friendship
between the two nations are not directed against
anyone, rather the goal is to secure respect of
international law and safeguard lasting peace and
stability in the entire region, concluded the Serbian
Prime Minister.
Russian President Putin stated that the Serbian nation
today is defending the sovereignty and territorial
integrity of its country, and that peace in Europe
cannot be built on anything except respect of
international law.
