with posting pictures of themselves in uniform. and a russian man of a forest past his isolation rudely interrupted after becoming an internet sensation gave r.t.u. warm welcome at his and made home and goods outside moscow but said and seen to be unwelcome visitors. official candidacy for membership of the european union and beginning talks with cost of our service top goals for two thousand and eleven he said down with the country's president boris tadic to hear more about belgrade's road towards the e.u. and the challenges the nation faces. thank you. but it's that beach serbian president thank you very much for being with us today thanks a lot now mr president it's been two years since kosovo's independence was recognized

and back then there was a lot of talk about the don't know a fact about the threat of destabilisation in the region and that none of that happened why do you think was it right to make such a fuss in the first place in the beginning of the domino effect is still existing as a threat for everybody not only in the region of southeast europe but also everywhere and from that reason her real concerns both to taking for the consideration of probably the reality of the army unit about the declaration of independence so i think that we are trying to prevent problems. i mean should be a consistent policy that means we are totally against partition of all countries of the member states of united nations that means we are against partition of the countries that the existing in the region in that respect we are fully supporting for example and integrity integrity of other countries. and in that respect we are contributing to the stability even though we are very much affected because if you

look through the caribbean a for independence just recently kosovo as prime minister suggested starting relations from scratch ways great is that possible i mean what would it take for serbia to actually i think dialogue i think the dialogue is a very important that look can bring some solution i mean we have a confrontation between serbs and albanians not between should be and costs because we don't preclude the score so independence we have a confrontation between serbs and albanians for almost two hundred fifty years and then the end. the day we have to solve that kind of cultural conflict blocking not only serbs sort of single being is but also whole region in terms of progress and development only trade dialogue we can achieve some sort of you shine that can be acceptable for great so the prettiest foreign minister when i'm hake sat that serbia is actually putting in chances of joining the e.u. under threat by refusing to cooperate with kosovo and you're facing

a really tough choice what's your priority kosovo are the membership i'm not making that kind of differences between. participating on elections the last time and the first time when i was elected for president of serbia having in the mind to mean so digital is to become a member state the future and to defend that authority and to you considering to my country i'm going to continue my efforts in that direction while in two thousand and eight in every single one of your interviews you sat that seven oppressed percent of your people off serbs thought that kosovo was the main problem major problem in the country and like your later this number dropped to six percent why is that i mean if you're talking about people the. mentioning of course always a main problem of the contrie the different opinion polls impost few years you have to know that serbia is a very much affected because if economical crisis and in that respect the old

serbian people and the citizens of thinking that economic crises. unemployment and the kind of problems to talk before are joined and this is a totally true without strong economy and the real development you cannot defend your state and the national interests and that is why we are trying to solve the problems like all other countries all around the world but people are not thinking that costs always are not the problem anymore costs always existing and the problem not only between serbs and. binion's but those with regional policy globally thinking because of keeping in the mind the real possible press of the can create many many turmoil sold around the world you're absolutely right the international court of justice in the hague recognized the legitimacy of course of this independence and this is a first president now it relations to that what do you think are the consequences for some other european countries decision of the international court of justice

has been legitimizing you know that through a declaration of independence not independence of course. being in the mind the group of the people the unilaterally independence didn't have a right to do that they came to the consideration all the legal framework which was adopted on course so before. there is very controversial decision but we are not going to interfere in decision so for the international court of justice we accept that and we are going to continue all efforts in the erection to defend territorial integrity and sovereignty or serbia but that cannot be really cheap. without dialogue between serbs and albanians between prishtina both agreed and we have to have a some kind of compromise on the end of the day solution is not one sided to me is course all being is getting everything and the other serbia and sort of serbian

people are losing everything i'm totally sure that we have to have a some compromise despite their urging of the european parliament to recognize this independence as spain has graced theirs for mania they refused to do so do you think it's more because their apprehensions about their own intentions are it's just solidarity no no no no it is. all governments all around the world are they finding their own interests not only those three countries but also cyprus and greece and i appreciate very much that kind of approach because that was very helpful regarding serbian position but those guy. most of the founding interest so they citizens and the national interest and we understand that very well to be on the side that perfectly well you have always stronger promoted the pro-american image of your government and then one of the close of the sham marriage when it came down to it turned out that russia was your only ally to ally how did that happen. president the government is going to be ollie's if i'm going to be leader

of this country i'm sure that i'm going to continue my work serbian government we want to have the best possible relations we deny the states even though we are facing with really challenges for especially because of course that is a crucially important achievement in my doc's with the vice president biden and madam clinton and she came to belgrade and we agreed that we disagree on course so he should and this is not very easy to achieve that kind of. relations in the very difficult circumstances in which we are living second we do not want to become a member state so if united states we want to become a member state the future pm you know we are leaving the europe and we are going to continue i foresee in that direction but no one can make very strange or not the future condition symptom so frequent as in kosovo. because of the intention to become a member state the future puno be should know that the pro-choice european union countries very much take into consideration our relations with russia historical

relations very close relations and culture relations no one can make any problem seeing death respect this is not changeable policy and be sure the survey's going to be very very close partner of russia true future and future history and we should have and continue to have special little course i have extremely close relations with your present to your prime minister we have a very very good conversation and we agreed on many many issues that we are going to continue our force in that direction so this is a quote from your end. that balkan integration into the you is day all the way to settle the disputes and we should all be integrated into europe and look for pragmatic ways out singleton is there now why do you think it's possible to settle the issue that one country couldn't solve on its own with a boundary is only true that we can solve the problem does that is not the fact think only serbs and albanians only serbia but those a whole region and i think that is becoming

a globally extremely important issue and that is the reason that only sixty countries recognize corso independence until today we have more than one hundred ninety countries so that the member states of the united nations said they did this is also fate that we have to take into consideration so that ultra right moments are gathering pace and here and now under this conditions how do you see settling the problem of living side by side with lessons in your own country i mean the religious issue is a very very important issue muslims bush the us bush and people that have a muslim religion are living in serbia for centuries and i appreciate very much the arch event of my system and culture in my country and in the original policy in that respect fully respecting all rights for all religious communities old national minorities and we are going to continue that kind of policy europe is

a facing with a with the problem with the challenge hard to define them self in terms of the influence of the muslim culture on european confidence in the between turkey and europe we are not very strong country and we cannot to decide what has to be european policy and that they were actually have to decide where are the board to surf european union are not how to the. many different things that exist in between christians and muslims but. if you want to my. opinion i see staying on extreme religious groups that. have been all really just right now not only among the muslims but on some of the christian sound facing the serbian president with the rugby codes the. very very often insisting on christian identity but very strong and very extreme religious

organisations becoming problems everywhere on the globe sir sir big government at its utmost to hand that it's to the hague what's your assessment of this process we have to continue that process first of all this is all oh this is in accordance with ologists lesion we are specked hollows otherwise we will be in a very difficult situation and second in terms of frequency area one who is accused has to be you know he should be or not. i'm not talking about serbs croats bush in exile barriers but because of war and terrible hope consequences we are facing who are the only ways in terms of frequency lieschen the people that really accuse because of dissipation the war crimes during the night the night this has to be faced with a justice in the hague tribunal and then two years ago when that i was doing it was acquitted of all charges he sat there tribunals decision was

a major blow to the whole international justice system and also to the hopes of balkans for reconciliation saying that you considered a biased and incompetent that was really very tough momentum for serbs and serbia for me as a serbian president. fortunately that is a continuing process against the mr harding there right now and there right now he's in the hague tribunal once again and the human rights watch says a human rights organization demanded that you put pressure on serbia to actually make this a. more effective what do you say to that i am not changing my my and my approach on everyone who is a they teach us to be in the hague tribunal that is very strict and not changeable . mr president thank you retching you very much thanks a lot. sergeant

government is has been you know what i'm seeing all the mr. september. but. i'm ok with it. you know it's. it's never. i love doing it is never easy for a player. but. but. you know. now the news that some of the world's top some is have been competing in the annual vladimir sound week of cup it was started four years ago in honor of the four time and in pick champion and world record holder who predicts more records are about to fall but only cos of half reports. that lattimer salic of couples established four years ago with a straightforward plan to make swimming more globally popular while there is no way to gauge the empirical facts of this competition on swimming worldwide in itself it has grown to three hundred fifty participants from fifteen countries and lattimer suddenly got himself promises further advancement of this event next year. i can

guarantee you that next year will have even more stars because this year many athletes said that they do they can't make it now they will definitely come next year and we're talking here about real a least athletes i shall not disclose their names but i can say that the total number of the gold medals they wanted their limpid games is put together exceeds ten. despite a gruelling world championship in dubai recently the swimmers managed to put on a good show for some it was another chance to better their result for others an opportunity to close out the year on yet another high note russian olympic silver medalist nikita love and serve and alexander did i say man yeah from bill arose one of the tournaments and its prize the silver shark. i'm really tired after dubai worse when more than everyone computed in the mornings and evenings i really like this pool however this is where i became the champion of russia for the first time

and got a major push from my career but swimming is the most important thing in my life says the legendary subjects were bloody murder signing off recently appointed president of the russian swimming federation he faces a tough task in raising the national team out of the so-called slump which many pundits believe it's in by the four time olympic champion is certain the country swimmers are evolving along with the rest of the world. of the five world records were sent to their world championship in dubai which is a breakthrough for our athletes set a world record too this is a tendency that proves the crisis has been overcome some pessimists were saying that base would be a long crisis and we would not see any new world records before their lympics i'm convinced that record olds will be set at world cup in shanghai the russian swimmers finished second behind the united states in the latest biannual world championships in dubai the result was a strong statement which showed that russia is back hungry for medals and

a far cry from the team that only managed six place in the same competition two years ago back then russia also disappointed at the beijing olympics finishing in tenth overall place the athletes will be looking to stay on course for the podium at the twenty twelve london summer games and it's no secret that early preparation could be the key advisors. it is the last competition of the year and the final chance for the athletes to give an exceptional performance in front of their home crowd is the competition for here it is safe to say that. the four time olympic champion. has been instrumental yet again it is important not only in russia but abroad as well. st petersburg. and fun even you tell me season has started not mean george ephedra rafael nadal begin another chapter in a great rivalry in the first twenty eleven is the day. the pair started their
