My sense is that those Western powers who believe the issue of the alleged Kosovo independency is over are terribly wrong. Russia will never left its Serbian alies and it will eventually find a way to bring Kosovo back under the Serbian authority. The presence of NATO military bases on the Kosovo terrtory is illegal and a time will come when they will be expelled. The westerners are soon to will learn that Russia is a superpower and its political will is not to be questioned, let alone the fact that China (surely not less a superpower) is on the same position.

Thanks to our Russian ally. Serbia has to turn its policy completely towards Russia, but Russia ought to protect and arm Serbia and Serbian Army. Russia should open military base on the south of Serbia and balance NATO (USA) presance in our country. Russia has to understand that real histilities and enemies are western stataes; especially USA and UK and do everything to stand them and that means to help and support NATO enemies such as Iran. It is big mistake that Russia did not impose veto over new sanctions on Iran and Russian Government should reconsider a decision to sell 300-S Air Defense Sys to Iran. Iran is a friendly nation to Russia; but not Izrael, USA, and UK.

@Bojan Russia should have done so long time ago, before any NATO-invasion. Now it would unfortunately be only to keep "what`s left" of Serbia... which is pretty tragic. Strangely enough there are ethnic tensions growing along the same lines as in Kosovo in various countries like the UK, France etc and they may just as well have their own Kosovos coming. This in a sense comes back to the same short-sightedness that NATO/USA is so very famous for, to give a few examples: they failed to support Ho Chi Minh and he became a communist. They armed and supported Taliban and the Al-Quaida was the result. They supported Kosovo and now it is the criminal base for international albanian mafia. Someone should get these people glasses, because a 10-year old can make better strategic decisions.
