Russians Pledge to Support Serbia

The US is supporting Kosovo in her independence from Serbia. Russian Deputy PM Dmitry Medvedev — the next president — has pledged that Russia will “stick to” its support for Serbia in opposing Kosovo’s independence. Will we go to war, the the Balkans of all places, to sustain our support for Kosovo?

In a related story, demonstrators attacked the United States Embassy and set part of it on fire on February 21, as angry Serbs took to the streets of Belgrade to protest Kosovo’s declaration of independence and U.S. recognition of the new state.
