Feb 24 2008 2:25PM U.S. policy towards Kosovo cynical - Russian Foreign Ministry MOSCOW. Feb 24 (Interfax) - U.S. Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs Nicholas Burns' recent statements regarding Russia's position on Kosovo elicited surprise in Moscow, the Russian Foreign Ministry said. "Claiming that our policy in relation to Kosovo affairs is cynical, the American diplomat did not give himself the trouble to thinking what the U.S. line looks like in the settlement. Isn't it an instance of open cynicism to support one, Kosovo-Albanian side, to disregard law for the sake of 'political expediency' and to show indifference to the future of 100,000 Serbs, who are actually being driven into a ghetto in the 21st century?" the Foreign Ministry said in a commentary on Sunday. Burns said on Fox News television on Saturday that Russia was pursuing an openly cynical policy with regards to Kosovo. sd md
