Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said US must apologize for the bombing of Yugoslavia, and then they can ask others to look to the future

"The United States must apologize for bombing the former Yugoslavia back in 1999 and pay compensation to the relatives of those killed and injured in the US-backed NATO air raids, and then they could ask others to look into the future", Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on Sunday.

Russia considers unacceptable the statement made by Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama about Kosovo being "a part of Albania."

This was stated by Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova last Friday.
At a regular press briefing, Zakharova said that Russia cannot remain without comment on this statement. Rama also said that "unification of Kosovo and Albania is not 'plan B' but 'plan A'," Sputnik is reporting.

When it comes to finding a solution for the Kosovo issue, Russia proceeds from international law, and a solution that must suit the people of Serbia.

This has been stated by the spokesperson of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova.

Secretary General of the Serbian President, Nikola Selakovic, thanked Moscow for the readiness to "call things with the real name", and on the Russian Foreign Ministry's condemnation of the passive behaviour of international forces in Kosovo.

Selakovic told the morning RTS News that Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic has accustomed public to regular meetings with the highest international officials, which before was not the case, adding that it is rare among other Western Balkan leaders.

Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has posted a photo on Facebook showing herself and Serbia's and Russia's foreign ministers.

Sputnik is reporting that the photo was taken at the UN HQ in New York City, during the UN General Assembly meetings this week.
"Russian and Serbian brothers and sisters," Zakharova captioned the photo of herself, Sergei Lavrov, and Ivica Dacic.

Director of the Information Service of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia Maria Zakharova told RTS this morning that Russia's attitude towards Kosovo is consistent and strict. This attitude is built on three components - the international legal basis of what is happening in Kosovo, respect for the sovereignty of Serbia, independence and internal Serbian legislation, and understanding the interests of the people and Serbia as a state, Zakharova stressed.

Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova says Moscow does not support "delimitation" as the solution to the Kosovo problem.

The idea was floated earlier by Serbian Foreign Minister Ivica Dacic, while President Aleksandar Vucic on Thursday revealed this was "his policy" on the issue.

Asked about the position of Russia in terms of demarcation, Zaharova responded by asking: "You will not have a problem with that?"

Russian Foreign Ministry's spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said that the Kosovar authorities were trying to create a "fake juridical" ground for creation of Kosovo armed forces.
