俄羅斯的梅德韋捷夫保證在科索沃問題上支援塞爾維亞 (Russia's Medvedev Pledges Support to Serbia on Kosovo)

俄羅斯第一副總理梅德韋捷夫對塞爾維亞的領導人說，俄羅斯支援塞爾維亞對科索沃的主權，這一立場不會改變。

梅德韋捷夫和俄羅斯的外交部長拉伕羅夫目前正在貝爾格萊德和塞爾維亞親西方的總統塔迪奇以及身為民族主義者的總理科什圖尼察舉行會談。

梅德韋捷夫說，莫斯科的立場是：塞爾維亞是一個單一的國家，對其全部領土擁有司法管轄權。

預期梅德韋捷夫將贏得俄羅斯在下個星期日舉行的總統選舉，繼普京之後成為俄羅斯領袖。

俄羅斯和塞爾維亞還簽署了一項15億美元的交易協議，把俄羅斯的天然氣經由將穿越塞爾維亞的新管道送往西歐。

Russia's Deputy Prime Minister Dmitri Medvedev has told Serbian leaders there will be no shift in his country's support for Serb sovereignty over Kosovo.

Medvedev and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov are in Belgrade for talks with Serbia's (pro-western) President Boris Tadic and (nationalist) Prime Minister Vojislav Kostunica.

Medvedev says Moscow's position is that Serbia is a single state whose jurisdiction covers all of its territory.

Medvedev is expected to win next Sunday's presidential election in Russia, and follow Vladimir Putin as the leader of the country.

Russia and Serbia also signed a one-and-a-half billion-dollar gas deal designed to bring Russian gas to Western Europe through a new pipeline to run (from the Black Sea) through Serbia.
