The ending of the video clip is not what I'd expected from RT. The commentator got cut off just before she was going to say "Serbia". In other words, she only managed to say "Kosovo". RT is one of the few media sources one can find Serbian and Russian perspectives and this point seems to really jump out of line. But perhaps I am overlooking this?

@mbobic I'm dissapointed with RT's coverage of the Balkans as well that they go along with the western narrative although it has proven to be false. And events in Kosovo have a direct impact on Russia as since 97 Chechen watlords have been buying up property making connections to organised crime and the KLA.
