Russia, which has used its UN Security Council veto powers to stall Kosovo
independence, promised to go one step further. If the rebel province declares
independence from Serbia, Russia will see to it that the country is
shut out of international groups.
Russian Ambassador to the United Nations Vitaly Churkin said on
Wednesday, Jan. 16, Kosovo "would not become members of the United Nations, they
would not become members of international political institutions if they go down
the road of unilateral declarations."
Serbian President
Boris Tadic confirmed those sentiments the same day in a speech to the UN
Security Council vowing that his country would never recognize the country's
sovereignty.
