Is Serbia expected is respond in some way or what are the implications? Haven’t been keeping up to speed on this.

” what are the implications “

The US is (wrongheadedly, IMO) backing the Kosovars, while Russia has indicated that they’re firmly in the Serb camp....

(Remembering history — Sarajevo was the flash-point that kicked off ‘The War to End All Wars’ back in 1914 or so)

What can Serbia do as long as the armed presence of Big Brother is lodged in Kosovo to "protect" them?

"Is Serbia expected is respond in some way or what are the implications? Haven?t been keeping up to speed on this."

I have read elsewhere that Serbia and Russia are in discussions about establishing a Russian base in Serbia. Maybe other FReepers can comment on the specifics. I don’t know if anything will come of this, but Serbia needs Russian support to stand up to the EU and NATO. I suspect that any reaction will be economic and not military. The US has succeeded in creating a terrorist mini-state in Europe - the world turned upside down.
