KOMMERSANT (RUSSIAN FEDERATION) Feb. 26, 2008 [...] Russia’s Ambassador to NATO accused the EU of being linked to drug mafia Last weekend, Russia’s Ambassador to NATO Dmitry Rogozin made a series of statements concerning Kosovo’s future and the Russia-NATO relations. For instance, he made a supposition that the process of recognizing Kosovo as independent might be financed by local drug mafia. Rogozin said that drug dealers’ connection to the self-proclaimed republic’s recognition by EU member states is “quite likely”. The ambassador added that Russia is concerned about a possible appearance of foreign military presence in Kosovo. However, he said that Russia will not interfere in the situation at the current stage. “Serbia is not an invaded state, and does not need anyone to resort to weapons for its sake. Serbia is a sovereign state, and we support its territorial integrity proceeding from the international law principles.” Anyway, Rogozin does not deny a chance that force might be used when defending Russia’s interests: “If the European Union works out a united stand now, or if NATO exceeds the limits of its mandate in Kosovo, those organizations will enter conflict with the U.N., and then we too, I suppose, will proceed from the idea that we need to use violent force, called armed force, to make others respect us.” Accusing the U.S. imperialism of following the ‘divide and conquer’ principle, Rogozin predicted that Europeans as well might turn out the victims of that policy. Thus, the official thinks that ethnic Turks residing in Berlin might also want to create their own state – “if not Kosovo, then Berlinosovo, Apricotovo, or Cocosovo”.
