(ANSA) - BELGRADE, AUG 23 - Russia believes that the Kosovo
crisis must be resolved in accordance with international law
principles and norms, specifically UN Security Council
Resolution 1244, which calls for full respect for Serbia's
sovereignty and territorial integrity, said Foreign Minister
Serghiei Lavrov in the yesterday's meeting in Moscow with
Serbian Interior Minister Aleksandar Vulin. Russia stands
alongside Serbia against the independence unilaterally
proclaimed by Kosovo in 2008. Moscow's position on the Kosovo
issue - Lavrov noted - has not changed, and remains the one
reaffirmed several times by President Vladimir Putin. (ANSA).
