Relations with Russia (4.00 / 2)

is not really what's at stake here. The core point is whether a country can be partitioned with UNSC approval - and Russia is fighting the side of the UNSC.

We're creating all sorts of precedents in international law here if we push ahead. The demonization of Russia is hiding that right now, but we'll see if this lasts.

Re: Relations with Russia (none / 1)

Do you mean with or without approval?

The EU appears ready to sacrifice relations with Russia for the goal of Kosovo independence. It makes no sense that breaking up Yugoslavia should be that high of a priority for the EU.
