running military support
In my opinion, provision of military support to illegal structures runs counter to the principles of modern international law and the United Nations Charter.
thinking
I think happiness is love.
democracy legal-system
Democracy is not possible without effectively working legal system.
russia ukraine views
Russia had to take the necessary measures in order to prevent the situation in Crimea unfolding the way it is now unfolding in southeastern Ukraine. We didn't want any tanks, any nationalist combat units or people with extreme views armed with automatic weapons.
fighting rights people
I insist that people - wherever they live - have their rights and they must be able to fight for them.
country thinking russia
Problems between countries always exist, especially between such big countries as Russia and the United States. There have always been some issues, but I don't think we should go to extremes.
sports art people
Even if states sometimes have problems with each other, arts and sports should not suffer from that. Arts and sports are there to bring the people together - and not to divide them.
country terrorist syria
60 percent of Syria is controlled either by ISIS, Jabhat al-Nusra or other terrorist organisations, organisations that have been recognised as terrorist by the United States, as well as other countries and the UN. It is them and not anyone else who have control over 60 percent of Syrian territory.
country mistake russia
If you want to lower the significance of Russia in the world, you actually just want to elevate your own country. That is a mistake.
democracy uniforms models
There is no uniform, global model for democracy.
country thinking iraq
If one looks at the map of the world, it's difficult to find Iraq, and one would think it rather easy to subdue such a small country.
spiritual brother today
We see Serbs as our spiritual brothers. And that is what is at the base of our relations today and in the future.
fighting islands bridges
We have created islands, small islands of power, but we have not built a bridge between those islands, .. The center and the territories, regional and local authorities are still competing with each other, competing for power. Those who take advantage of disorder and arbitrary rule are watching their mutually destructive fight.
iraq democracy want
We certainly would not want to have the same kind of democracy that they have in Iraq, quite honestly.
