how feasible is it for Serbia to connect stronger economic and military ties with Russia (which I strongly favour, by the way) when the country is practically surrrounded by the EU and NATO? The economic miscreant Dinkic lately seems to go out of his way to iterate this grim fact, along with the claim that only 15% of Serbia's trade is with Russia. How much weight do his words have (if any) in this case?

Sincere thanks in advance

The west may do what it wants and bring on war with Serbia and Russia. Not wise.

If the west brazenly violates treaties and internal law to steal Kosovo away from Serbia, why should Serbia not repudiate the debt? Fair is fair. Then there is the fact that Russia will not care what Serbia's credit rating in the west is, nor will a lot of other countries willing to trade outside of the international usury system.

QUESTION: One more? The international famous Greek composer Mikis Theodorakis with statement characterized the so-called independence of Kosovo as treason without prior approval by the United Nations. Any comment on that?

MR. CASEY: Mr. Lambros, you know what? I somehow suspect for the next six or eight months or so, you’re going to come in here every day and you’re going to say some other prominent citizen somewhere in the world has said that they don’t like the fact that Kosovo is now an independent state. And they’re entitled to their opinion. We respect their opinion. But you know our policy, and we and the rest of the international community are moving ahead with it.

CVETKOVIC: REPAYING KOSOVO DEBT IN AGREEMENT WITH CREDITORS
BELGRADE, Feb. 27 (Beta) - Finance Minister Mirko Cvetkovic on Feb. 27 said Serbia should continue to pay off the Kosovo debt until a different agreement with foreign creditors was reached.
"The guarantor of the Kosovo debt to foreign creditors is the state of Serbia and the state has this obligation until a different agreement is reached with the creditors," Cvetkovic told BETA.
If Serbia stopped repaying the Kosovo debt, Serbia's rating would be damaged and interest rates would increase, Cvetkovic said. Also, Serbia could lose the trust of foreign financial institutions and risk future transactions with those institutions, he added.
On Feb. 26, Economy and Regional Development Minister Mladjan Dinkic said he would suggest to the government that Serbia stop repaying the Kosovo debt.

“We shall win this time, believe me. We will! With justice, heart and God on our side. God is with Serbia now!”

Ok…..but with a couple of conditions:

“For if you turn again to the Lord: your brethren, and children shall find mercy before their masters, that have led them away captive, and they shall return into this land: for the Lord your God is merciful, and will not turn away his face from you, if you return to him.” 2 Paralipomenon 30

For the Serbs to return to the Lord your God is done by renouncing their errors on the Trinity, The Immaculate Conception & Infallibility of the Roman Pontiff and entering into the Holy Roman Catholic Church. But they won’t, therefore the Serbs shall not return into this land of Kosovo.

ONLY PATH TO FREEDOM!

FREEDOM ALWAYS COST BLOOD."

Cost money too.

Maybe it's time for the US State Department to freeze Serbian Assets here in the USA. (to help pay for the damage done to the US Embassy and what not)

After all you Serbs are now threating to refuse to pay the $1.2 billion Kosovo debt. And as you should. You will no longer have any claims to Kosovo when you do.

Kumbaya what is your advice for those Serbs who still have Serbian held assets in the USA?

It's cold out here, its freezing.....

"... The unilateral independence of Kosovo has nothing to do with "democracy". But then what's the point of this North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) provocation towards Vladimir Putin's Russia - a historic ally of Serbia?

The ongoing saga revolves around two crucial, interrelated facts on the ground: Pipelineistan and the empire of 737 (and counting) US military bases in 130 countries operated by 350,000-plus Americans. In short: it revolves around the trans-Balkan AMBO pipeline and Camp Bondsteel in Kosovo, the largest US base built in Europe in a generation.
