BELGRADE, October 18 (Itar-Tass) -- The October 20 visit of Russian President Dmitry Medvedev to Belgrade will have a historic significance for Serbia from the point of view of political and economic cooperation, Serbian Vice-Premier, Interior Minister and Cochair of the Serbian-Russian Intergovernmental Committee for Trade and Economic Cooperation Ivica Dacic said on Sunday.
Medvedev will visit Serbia at the invitation of Serbian President Boris Tadic to celebrate the 65th anniversary of the Belgrade liberation from the Nazi. “The sides think alike about many important international problems, including the Kosovo status and preservation of Serbia’s territorial integrity,” Dacic said.
He said the parties would discuss the allocation of a 1 billion euros loan to Serbia. Belgrade plans to spend a third of that sum on covering the budget deficit, and two-thirds on infrastructural projects involving Russian companies, such as the construction of the Belgrade metro, a circular road and a modern railroad hub. The Serbian government established an expert commission, which would present feasibility studies and estimates to Russian colleagues, Dacic said.
He welcomed the prospective cooperation agreements with Russia’s Interior and Emergency Situations Ministries. The agreements will be signed in October 20 in the attendance of the two presidents, Dacic said. The sides will cooperate in the suppression of organized crime and in the cleanup of natural and man-made disasters.
It is planned to open a base at the Nis airport in southern Serbia for rapid delivery of Russian and Serbian rescuers to disaster zones. The issue will be discussed at the October 19 meeting of the Serbian-Russian Intergovernmental Committee with the participation of Dacic and Russian Emergency Situations Minister Sergei Shoigu, who is coming to Belgrade.
Ping!
The world would be much different today had we stood with the Serbs instead of bombing them.
This will get interesting. Will Zero be more motivated by his cowardly fear of the Russian Bear or by his sense of loyalty to the muslim enclave in Europe.
Rewriting WW2 history is “disgusting”The number of victims of the Nazis might have been smaller if not for the support and collaboration of the Soviet EVIL EMPIRE from 1939 to 1941.
Medvedev’s visit to the Serbian capital coincides with the 65th anniversary of the liberation of Belgrade from Nazi Germany. Addressing the Serbian parliament, the Russian leader said attempts to equally blame Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union for the beginning of WW2 are “disgusting”. "Europe failed to deter the Third Reich. A number of states supported and even fought for the Hitler regime. Some countries chose collaboration and helped the Hitler military machinery with supplies,” Medvedev said.He went on to say, “The responsibility of those political administrations is also obvious: the number of victims of the Nazis might have been much smaller if not for their support."
"Everyone, especially those who are trying to rewrite history for their advantage, must remember that,” Medvedev stated.
So true!
But it would be even smaller if US/UK corporations nad banks did not supported Hitler during entire war.
I bet you had family in the Bund, tailgunner.
