SOCHI (TASS): Russian President Vladimir Putin assured that Moscow invariably supports Belgrade’s position on the Kosovo settlement.
“Regarding our efforts and joint steps in the intern-ational arena, including ar-ound the Kosovo settlem-ent, you know that our po-sition is of a principled nat-ure, it is not subject to the current political environment,” the Russian head of state addressed his Serbian counterpart Aleksandar Vu-cic at the talks on Thursday.
“We support your position on the Kosovo settlement, I hope that the situation will ultimately develop in such a way that will meet the interests of all people living in the region,” Putin said.
As Vucic previously noted, he intends to discuss in detail with Putin the situation in the Balkan region, first of all, the growing tension around Kosovo and Metohija, where the situation has sharply escalated twice during the fall due to the aggressive actions of the Pristina authorities.
The Autonomous Serbian Province of Kosovo and Metohija declared independence unilaterally in February 2008, and has recently been actively trying to join international organizations, including UNESCO and Interpol. More than 60 countries, including Russia, India and China, as well as five member states of the European Union, oppose the recognition of Kosovo.
