news.xinhuanet.com/english/2007-11/27/content_7150443.htmBELGRADE, Nov. 26 (Xinhua) -- Montenegro and NATO signed a transit agreement on Monday, allowing the Alliance's troops to move across the tiny Balkan country's territory to support peacekeeping missions, said reports reaching here from the Montenegrin capital Podgorica. The document on implementation of the earlier agreement in 2005between the former state union of Serbia-Montenegro and NATO was signed by Montenegrin Defense Minister Boro Vucinic and Lt. Gen. Peter Pearson, deputy commander of Allied Joint Force Command Headquartered in Naples. Pearson welcomed the signing of the agreement, saying this document is very important for NATO. "We in Naples wish Montenegro success on its way to joining NATO," Pearson told the local media. Vucinic said that, by signing this agreement, Montenegro was showing its dedication to Euro-Atlantic integration as a guarantee of peace and stability. According to the transit agreement, NATO forces can move across sovereign Montenegrin land, air and territorial waters in line with international law. The agreement defines the privileges and immunities to be enjoyed by NATO personnel, in line with the convention on similar rights enjoyed by the United Nation, as well the priorities and procedures of border-crossing by NATO convoys. The document regulates the designated routes, border crossing-points, resting places and medical treatment of the convoys during their transit through Montenegro.

Looks like preparation for a new war against Serbia, after Kosovo declares independence.

Looks like preparation for a new war against Serbia, after Kosovo declares independence.  War for what??? If they declare independence, and get recognition from the Western countries, what they will wage war for??? Pro-western Serbian government to go to war against NATO??? No way! However the West desperately tries to involve Serbia into a new war, since the last thing they want is an ice-cold Serbia who does not move a finger to violence of the Albanians against remaining Serbs in the province, and cold minded Serbia who firmly stands on her feet and insist on the international laws and norms... The west just desperately tries to get Russia involved into military conflict. But they won't succeed! Instead what the West will get from Russia is what is killing them most - drastical increasing of oil and gas prices (Russia announced increase of gas prices for Westerners from current 250$ to 400$ for 1000m3), nuclear Iran, gas OPEC with Iran and Algeria (formal or informal - it is completely irrelevant), ousting of the remaining western companies from the Russian gas and oil fields, spreading of the nuclear technology to Syria, Libya, Brazil... The point is -> Russia is killing them slowly and painfully... |

NATO calls on Moscow to reverse CFE treaty decision
21:45 | 12/ 12/ 2007
BRUSSELS, December 12 (RIA Novosti) - NATO said in a statement on Wednesday that it regretted Russia's decision to impose a moratorium on a major arms reductions treaty in Europe and urged Moscow to reverse its decision.
The law to freeze Russia's participation in the Conventional Forces in Europe (CFE) treaty was unanimously approved by parliament and signed on November 30 by President Vladimir Putin. Russia's unilateral moratorium came into force immediately after midnight on Wednesday.
Moscow considers the original CFE treaty, signed in December 1990 by 16 NATO countries and six Warsaw Pact members, to be discriminatory and outdated since it does not reflect the dissolution of the Warsaw Pact, the breakup of the Soviet Union, or recent NATO expansion.
In a statement made on Wednesday, NATO countries said they "deeply regret" the decision, adding they "continue to place the highest value on the CFE Treaty regime with all its elements and underscore its strategic importance as a cornerstone of Euro-Atlantic security."
The statement said: "The Russian Federation's 'suspension' is a unilateral measure not provided for under the terms of the CFE Treaty. This step does not contribute to the long-term viability of the CFE Treaty and we urge the Russian Federation to rescind its decision."
It also went on to state that the organization members had "chosen not to respond in kind at this stage to the Russian Federation's political decision" adding "when the annual CFE exchange of military information takes place this week, the NATO Allies will meet their obligations."
NATO "strongly urged" Russia "not to take further steps that would undermine the future of the CFE regime."
General of the Army Yury Baluyevsky, chief of the Russian General Staff, earlier said that the current treaty favored the U.S. and NATO because it allowed them to exceed national and territorial limitations on the number of armaments, freely deploy and re-deploy military contingents anywhere in Europe, and monitor Russian troops in the European part of Russia.
According to Russia's Defense Ministry, NATO has substantially exceeded armament levels permitted by the CFE for NATO members - by 6,000 tanks, some 10,000 armored vehicles, over 5,000 artillery items and 1,500 combat planes.
Baluyevsky also said at the time that the Baltic States, which had not signed the adapted document, remained "grey zones" not covered by arms control agreements.
The Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement early on Wednesday that under these unfair conditions Russia "had no alternative but to suspend its CFE membership to protect its interests in the sphere of military security."
In practical terms, Moscow will not share with NATO information specified by the provisions of the CFE treaty, and will not allow any NATO military inspections on the territory of the Russian Federation.
The ministry also said that Russia could resume its participation in the treaty shortly after NATO countries ratify the adapted version of the CFE treaty, signed on November 19, 1999 by all NATO countries except Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia and Slovenia.
The moratorium "is justified politically, is legitimate, and allows Russia to resume its participation in the treaty by presidential decree if our [NATO] partners show their political will [by ratifying the adapted document]," the statement said.
The ministry reiterated that Russia proposed to NATO concrete measures to revive the arms control treaty, which the West considers the cornerstone of European security. They include agreements on how to compensate for misbalances in the number of deployed weaponry, which emerged after NATO's expansion, and the abolishment of the so called flank limitations on the territory of Russia.
"Russia is ready to continue a result-oriented dialogue on the CFE even during the current moratorium," the statement concluded.

Serbian opposition leader wants Russian military bases Belgrade - The leader of the Serbian nationalist Radical Party (SRS) backs the construction of Russian military bases in Serbia, according to the Sunday edition of the Novi Sad-based Dnevnik daily. A Russian military presence would strengthen the Serbian position in the solution of the Kosovo issue and do away with NATO threats "for ever," Tomislav Nikolic told the paper. If the breakaway province Kosovo became independent, Serbia would have to introduce a "total" block, he said. The measure would affect all forms of traffic, including people, goods and capital. However, the Serbian parliament had to decide on the presence of Russian troops, said Nikolic, who is also his country's frontrunner in the presidential elections scheduled for January 20. The SRS is by far the strongest party in the Serbian parliament and is opposed to the country's rapprochement to the European Union and NATO.

it was about time they got their brains out of their asses in serbia. This could be done before the bombing of Serbia. I think NATO and others wouldnt bomb serbia in those times when Russia has troops all over it.

There is all sorts of speculation going on in Serbia for the upcoming election......there is a realistic chance of a nationalist president and a nationalist government/parliament in Serbia soon, which would mean closer ties with Russia
But it all depends on the Radicals forming an alliance with the DSS (party of the current prime minister - moderate nationalist).....But I'll believe it when I see it......
Kostunica and Nikolic don't really get along and some people suspect that Kostunica isn't really a nationalist but only uses nationalist rethoric

I think NATO and others wouldnt bomb serbia in those times when Russia has troops all over it. Would this have been possible in 1999? I mean Yeltsin was in power then. He didn't do much to protect Russian interests abroad or the Serbs at all. All i heard him do was that he had a plane prepared to airlift Karadzic from Bosnia to Russia in the event of his imminent capture by NATO/UN for Hague due to internal pressure in Russia. What about this Nikolic candidate. Is he a "smart" leader? Someone the Serbs would want as president? From what i hear he sounds like he wants Serbia in Russia, Belarus Union, but this already occured during the NATO bombing in 1999 of Yugoslavija so i don't understand. Does this guy acyually have a chance of winning the elections? Would this guy really be good for Serbia? Plunge the Serbs into another war with NATO over Kosovo? |

"Plunge the Serbs into another war with NATO over Kosovo?"
If the Russian military was in Serbia (along with their anti-aircraft equipment) NATO wouldn't bomb or invade Serbia. They'd be too cowardly. Having several of the NATO countries gang bomb little Serbia was the act of cowards. They even used the OSCE mission to spy and plan bombing targets to help make it easier for them.
They'd never fight an active war with a country which has weapons equal are greater than their own. They'd never fight a country which has nukes and can send them to each NATO country.
