bizon calls ktc kuntsevo was handed over to balkan specialists, but excellent. and what confuses you is the age of the colonel, painfully young for his rank bison, he can have serious merits from here and the title. maybe so, well, i would still request detailed information on the entire group. good, but you know it will take time. is done where we arrived, it is necessary to change the car for security reasons. failed to pass on information to the president for protected diplomatic channels. he was afraid of a leak, a conspiracy ripened in the inner circle, it is impossible to solve the problem with the cardinal consul, this is the requirement of the general digger and the sword should be in his command. i'll take the flash drive. and the end let him sit here for now. and it's not dangerous now to meddle in his house. what suspicions can there be, and then while no one knows that he was kidnapped, these russians quickly worked out a false trail by the separatists. won't get lost. i'll still send a foreman with me, he'll cover. the second channel is in order. le

are you or your balkan friends? not me. they have nothing to do with these explosions.o we believed you, and i only know one thing, they themselves were stunned, when they banged at the consulate. then why did you meet, what are you doing with these balkans? why were you following the consul? the hajj ordered me to spy on the consul a week ago, only spying. yes , yesterday he flew in with his partner and said that they want to kill the consul in two days. they wanted me to help him walk after the murder. i agreed to pretend i wanted to go to you, but you yourself come to me. well, your position is clear, i decided to cooperate. and downplay your steering wheel. check my words. let's check where and when you met the hajj of southeast asia 5 years ago guarding the ships of a transport company on mega in touch. well, tell me, everything is in order. according to all the layouts, it turns out that in addition to hadji of his group, there was someone else who set out, and how are they related to each other? too little information. i think the consul's life is still in danger

hitler was in a league of his own but it is more like the balkans.ay over the last 20 something years putin has been a war criminal indiscriminately and chechnya he just level the place. >> [inaudible] >> i think they went out of business. i think there is a growing consensus in the senate that this is a defining moment in the world. she said it better than i could ever say it. if this becomes syria were everybody is upset and mad and john mccain is out there championing the syrian people and they wind up getting crushed and we move on b will pay a heavy price he is still in power right enough is enough. this is the moment this is the opportunity to change the world for the better. he is exposed economically and militarily and as an individual. >> we can all not all be have regrets on —- we cannot all be hypocrites to say germany should do it. if we mean it to look at our capacity and with those terrible policies we have right now to make us more dependent on our adversaries and we utilize our oil and gas industry to still buy oil from russia because

american politicians and media outlets for ben ton waging war against the serbs in the balkans. and i was suggesting we bomb belgrade. i was suggesting that we send american pilots in and blow up all the bridges on the drain. when natal 1st bomb the serbs in bosnia and herzegovina in 1995 time magazine said the massive bombing attack opened the door to peace. in 1999, the excuse was kosovo. serbia southern province in which the so called cale a or kosovo liberation army, conducted terrorist attacks on serb civilians and security forces. but the aim of kosovo seceding from serbia. under the pretext that serbia was using excessive force in their counter insurgency operations. the us cited with the albanian kaylee rebels. our goals at the beginning were to read casa of serbs and rid they did. following the bombing campaign over 160000 serbs were 75 percent of them fled kosovo. but that still wasn't enough. so in 2008, much of the west recognized kosovo as an independent country in vibrant te, america's pledge to militarily intervene, and the balkans went beyond serbia's borders. i

in the balkan, many warren nato spamming was set a dangerous precedent for me as a 10 year old kid. just watching serbian television was scary enough to to nato me . cells fell on the village. people with deadly cargo was dropped on the residential part of the village. were striking hard at serbia's machinery of repression, while making a deliberate effort to minimize harm to innocent people on the hit list were local hospital and primary school. in some of the a days, $420000.00 missiles including depleted uranium bombs and band cluster bombs, pell on serbia. they fell on our infrastructure factories, television stations, hospitals, schools, kindergartens, and innocent civilians. nobody ever apologized to serbia for the bombing. nobody was tried nor punished for the bombing. you probably forgotten about this, and most of us have moved on to more pressing topics, but i can't move on. i will always remember what nato did to my country. i don't think there war hawks can become peace. dobbs, without recognizing the harm. they've done millions in the past. and you can see more stories t

a detachment of special forces to protect the consul has already taken off from our base in the balkansing, taking into account the entire road , we will not go to your base here, we will wait here. well, here it is. these hell machines were laid down very carefully. it just follows from this, and it follows that the one who did this had a lot of time, he was not at all afraid that he would be caught. that is, one of the consular employees could have done it. perhaps yes, but not every consular officer is suitable. imagine a cook planting a bomb in the hallway to the security room. yes, but security officers are suitable, they can easily and without suspicion move around the entire territory of the consulate. there is only one thing, but they are all dead, but the guard could only plant a bomb and not know that he will be sacrificed, and the signal to blow it up was given, in general, by someone else. and at the same time they cleaned out the weak link. in any case, it is necessary to check everyone who has visited the consulate in recent days. this is more than 200 people, my colleague

that we talked about nato's role, both of the balkans and right now. right now notice as ukraine is not the major my bow and o'connor in interfere there. and yet they did in the, in the, in the balkans. what is a say indeed. so again, starting with the international law on the matter, there is an overall prohibition on the use of force by countries. there are 2 exceptions to that. one is self defense or collective defense. the collective defense exception would apply to nato. if ukraine were a member, but of course it is not and the other one is an action that is authorized by the security council. so for example, in the case of kuwait, if you remember, after iraq invaded kuwait invaded kuwait in early 1991. in fact, the secret curity council did issue a resolution entitling parties. countries to essentially go to kuwait's defense. that's not gonna happen here. russia has firmly blacked it blocked any action on the part of the security council. so could countries, none the less get together in a kind of coalition of the willing to help ukraine under th

but we did see nato intervene in the balkan wars. um, could there come a point, melinda, do you think when nato might decide that the suffering of the people, the war crimes being committed are so severe that it needs to intervene here. strictly on the point of law, essentially, there are 2 provisions under which force can be used. one is the right to self defense, which includes collective self defense. that would obviously be an easier matter if ukraine were. in fact, a member of nato. ukraine is not a member of nato, therefore it becomes a little bit more difficult. the clearest path would be a un security council resolution. we're not going to get that. that by the way, with what happened when iraq invaded kuwait, as you will remember, the un security council empowered other countries essentially to help get iraq out of kuwait if it didn't leave voluntarily. that is a clearer legal position. but terry, that's the last side. the other side, of course, is simply pragmatism, reality, the adversary here is a nuclear armed power. i ca

we see an attempt in the balkans, including, but not far from only in the balkans and other regions ofactically everywhere the us eu nato attempt to impose their behemonia. i am convinced that most countries of the world understand that this is a path that drives everyone into a dead end, and from which those who refuse, for the sake of their national interests, to join sanctions in the interests of other states will have to look for a way out. i think they have every right to be called independent states. no matter how large these states are? well, here's what anti-russian sanctions may come back to haunt the inhabitants of germany have already felt prices are inexorably creeping up from the shelves products are disappearing essential goods the authorities urge to endure and even freeze for evil moscow does not inspire optimism and the forecasts of economists who say that this is far from the limit. further ivan the good will be even more expensive in more detail. so my dears, i'm in the shop with my mom right now. you have no idea what's going on here bald spots on the grocery shelve

the criminal court was set up during the balkans war. there'd been a 161 individuals indicted and convicted ranging from common soldiers to prime ministers and generals. the united states is not a member. we have had some problems with the court in the past. when the court tries to grab to israel or rumsfeld here in the united states the court is designed to bring justice to those where there is no rule of law to bring justice to them. the first thing you have to understand or make a decision is, is there a rule of law and russia to hold putin accountable? the answer is no. so this is a good example of where the kremlin court should exercise jurisdiction. so i have a resolution that is a senate resolution i'm sure representative sparks will do the same in the house. i want the senate to vote and speak with one voice and support this complaint. i think the entire world, those who believe in the rule of law need to speak on behalf of this complaint. we are not prejudging the outcome we are saying this is a good thing to be doing. this is a

later, during the year, i will visit the western balkans and central asia. the ongoing noncompliance by osce artistic painting states may complicate these efforts. however, i will do my best to attentively listen to all partners to promote our joint principles and commitments. we will continue to show unwavering support for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of georgia within its internationally recognized borders. we are determined to keep south ossetia high on the agenda as well as the possibility to support the communities affected by the conflict. i will make even greater efforts to increase the involvement of the osce, the minsk group in resolving this dispute between azerbaijan and armenia. with regard to armenia and azerbaijan, to engage in dialogue as can reading to security, stability and prosperity in the region. in conclusion, let me reiterate that only by reverting to u.n. and osce principles we will be able to ease tensions and preventive military conflict. thank you. >> i think his excellency for his statements. i gave the floor to the r

the fall of the soviet union, to use nato, for instance, to attempt to solve the disputes in the balkan-- i think that would be something she would have justifiable pride in, although she was also criticized in the decades afterwards for what some people viewed as human rights abuses from the bombing campaigns both in the balkans and in iraq. there was a famous interview she had on an american network one time. the interviewer pointed out how many children had died in iraq because of the united states' bombing campaigns. they asked her if that was worth it, and she said, yes, it was. she regretted saying that after the fact. it came off as somewhat cold. i think she realized in hindsight that there was a cost to any kind of u.s. milita actions, wherever it is in the world. >>, yes, indeed. she discovered her jewish heritage at the age of 59. she was often known for the pins she would wear. the brooches would represent how she was feeling about a diplomatic meeting, for example. >> appently putin himself once said you could tell madeleine albright's mood by the pins she was weang. it was

not only serbia suffered, all the balkans, the lawyer, aleksich, has already collected 3,000 lawsuitsims in order to once again sue nato, people in serbia demand, first of all, that the territory of serbia be cleared of the remaining bombs of this slow uranium, so far the nato alliance has not did in nato common future. this attitude of the serbs can be judged by the rallies that took place in belgrade this week on the anniversary of the nato attack on yugoslavia. you want us to kneel before you every year thereafter and apologize for hitting us and our children. we won't kneel. we want to keep the memory of the victims alive. we will never forget what you did to our small country and our great people. inna axis would not have disappeared in the end, but the ntv companies but this story is far from over. now kosovo is asking to join nato, while serbia is refusing nato for the balkans as well - this is a dangerous imbalance, the entry of kosovo-valence will mean the possibility of applying the fifth article on solidarity at any time. there will always be, because, just now, on the anni

of bismarck's iron chancellor in 1890 germany chose to reach india in a straight line through the balkans and the ottoman empire along the path bequeathed by napoleon the material embodiment of this was the construction of the berlin constantinople baghdad railway november 8, 1898 in damascus, kaiser wilhelm delivered a speech that marked a new meaning of the german east politicians. on earth they will be sure that the german emperor will always remain their friend. kaiser wilhelmmann the second damascus 1898 is definitely a bet on islam as a battering ram on the way domination is attacked by islamism, as opposed to competitors and britain, russia, a bet on the pan-islamism of the ottoman empire, and not on its collapse. naturally, after the defeat of germany in the first world war, it was precisely the stake on collapse that was implemented. what happened to germany after the treaty of versailles is well known, the much less well-known serbian treaty had consequences for the ottoman empire that were not measurably more catastrophic than the sevsk peace treaty. signed on august 10, 1920,

square river, the lifeline of bosnia herzegovina history has also been carved in the heart of the balkan. this place has given birth to civilizations, and people on witness was that of shaped europe. but this historic city where races, religions and ethnic cities have molded together was torn apart in 1992 by a bloody wall. it lasted for 3 and a half years and took the lives of thousands of balcony and muslims, and crow. this distinctive yellow building on the front line saw the siege and bloodshed closer, but also became a fortress for the world media. this is the story of sorry, a bose infamous war hotel. the holiday in ah, in 1982 sorry eva was preparing to host the 14th winter olympic gains. 2 years later. the holiday inn designated for v i. peas and senior olympic committee figures was under construction before the hotel was built, the land was called circus plats because visiting circuses used to set up that kenneth morrison is a professor of modern history at, lest, as de monfort university in the u. k. he's written full books on the balkans, including one about, sorry, a vote. la

speed up talks with the two balkan nations to prevent them from being pulled into russia's sphere ofence. schultz and anderson also discussed the question of swedish neutrality as the country consider joining nato. she said sweetest membership in the european union means it is no longer a neutral country. here is more of what the german chancellor said today. >> she and i agree that we want to strengthen the e.u. and make it more resilient as well. the turning point in history means we must achieve real progress within the european union. the time has come to have the albanian and macedonian accession talks begin as soon possible, otherwise the balkan states will be vulnerable for russian influence, and we need to strengthen our capacity in a number of different ways. brent: dw news spoke to the swedish prime minister about e.u. accession talks, and here's what she told us. >> countries should be able to join the european union when they are ready, and i think it is important to all countries can have a process, closer to european membership. from a swedish perspective, we have been

after world war 2, we learned our lesson and oh, that in the balkans swell, that was the balkans, but we here in northern europe. this doesn't happen here. and what this crisis i hope is driving home to everyone in europe now. war is never that far away, and war in europe is not that long ago. let me just pick up a one point that i mentioned, most of the people who are on the move here of women and children. and that's very much talks about what are your impressions about what that signifies? well, the basic answer for that is that and from the age of 18, to 60 are now legally bod, from leaving ukraine, and in case they need to be drafted to serve in the ukrainian army. many men of all ages have already signed up and others are supporting in logistics and humanitarian relief on the ground in ukraine. but they are all basically in readiness, waiting am for potentially being drafted to supplement maximilian the year the use as it will effectively taking all refugees fleeing the war in ukraine. you think you can cope? do you think germany can cope? well, it's a, it's a, it's a remarkable

and except for the balkans, the other parts of the world were where the problems were. i mean, in, in the middle east and in the far east, what those were not or say nothing of latin america. those were not strong suits for her. and she acknowledged that she was in effect, a child of the cold war. and for accordingly, the difference was and i give her full marks for this. that she elevated into the foreign policy discussion issues that all her mail predecessors had ignored. well, what happens to women when they are refugees about what, what happens to their children, say issues of family, public health and safety and human rights and female rights. many had paid lip service to those that albright made specific demands and changes and institutional amendments that made a difference. and let me just give you one example. and under prodding the albright breasts, un high commissioner for refugees, limited the distance flaming. what between the sleeping quarters of refugee women and their toilets? because in that distance they were subject or physical abuse and even rape. so

and in general, the western balkans to become closer with the european union and obviously now with what is happening in ukraine, this has become even more relevant. and obviously the current government is going ahead with this position and wanting to accelerate talks to already start as soon as possible, but also to look at reforming the you to make the accession of these 2 country to the union. more likely and possible. okay, let's talk about sweden. so how has sweden's stance on nato membership change since the beginning of russia's invasion of ukraine? the government stands has not changed. the prime minister herself, has said that she thought it was not the time right now to work towards sweden joining nato, even though calls for that were coming from her the opposition parties in sweden. but we've seen as swift, a shift in public opinion in sweden, with polls showing that for the 1st time. now, there is a slight majority for people in favor of joining nato with 51 percent of people in favor of this. this is something that was never seen before in the country that has always been a
