of a change in policy the people that are currently in power in western europe are already heavily invested in the current state of affairs and i honestly don't think they will risk any damage their own political capital they might throw touchy under a bus as an inconvenience but they don't think they're very likely to abandon their policy of supporting an independent state of kosovo regardless of what some people in serbia and elsewhere may think obviously this is something to hope for and this is something that in a normal world we would expect to see but i think the events of the past twenty years in the balkans have shown that we don't necessarily live in the most noble of universes. or should knowledge of washington based journalist and historian live from washington d.c. thank you. now time for the business news with dmitri. i. welcome to the program the markets and reactants calmly to the bombing of them a bit of port equities of staged a recovery since the initial sell off when the news broke on monday afternoon now david caused by old chief economist at bank says the incident will
