From: Dragan Rakic [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, June 11, 2008 14:03 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Deadlock in Kosovo risks Balkan instability It should be clearly précised, first of all, that the UN is the only competent international institution to deal with problems like Kosovo, and its illegally recognized independence. That is the main and only important point in the whole of the story regardless what EU or Russia wish. Serbia and Kosovo Serbia are opposed to the EU presence instead of UN, but as far as there is no war and Serbs are on their own land, EU or NATO have nothing to do there, and in those terms Russia is right to maintain the peace within UN, international laws and not only by the members of only one pole. It was not up to Mr. Ahtisaari to decide who will be independent and who will be not. According to the article there is a sort of astonishment, how come that Russia opposes to EU and NATO. Is the West used to do all it wants, and when there is an opposition it reacts like a spoiled child. Probably to avoid that sort of things, the US presidential candidate John Mc Cain wishes to eliminate the UN and form the “Union of democracies”, where the door will be opened to everything. D.
