  • Russia and the Kosovar Declaration of Independence a Study of Russian Newspaper Articles Concerning Kosovo

    Russia and the Kosovar Declaration of Independence a Study of Russian Newspaper Articles Concerning Kosovo

    LUND UNIVERSITY Russia and the Kosovar declaration of independence A study of Russian newspaper articles concerning Kosovo Madeleine Lerup Spring semester 2013 Supervisor: Magdalena Gora. Faculty: Centre for Languages and Literature. Abstract This essay investigates the Russian position towards Kosovo’s declaration of independence. Russia chose not to recognize Kosovo and I try to examine why by reading articles in three Russian newspapers. I examine the articles by using three different theoretical approaches, inspired by previous research and scientific literature in this field. These approaches consist of the ideas that the Russian hesitation is due to close historical bonds to Serbia, or a Russian fear of separatism, or geopolitical conflicts between Russia and the West. Using these approaches, I read through my selection of articles and discovered that the Russian hesitation towards Kosovo’s independence can be explained by all of these approaches and that the three different newspapers, albeit for different reasons, all maintain a negative stance towards the Kosovar independence. I also discovered that the method used in the newspaper articles to increase support for Serbia and against Kosovo, is to bestow upon the Albanians the role of the scapegoat and present Serbs as victims.

GLAVNO ISPITIVANJE: TUŽILAC NAJS TUŽILAC NAJS – PITANJE: Hoćete li da nam kažete svoje ime i prezime, molim vas? SVEDOK JOVIĆ – ODGOVOR: Borisav Jović. TUŽILAC NAJS – PITANJE: Gospodine Joviću, ja ću sada da prepričam kakvi su bili vaši kontakti sa Tužilaštvom da biste identifikovali materijal na kojem smo radili. Prvo, u smislu konteksta, vi ste se rodili oktobra 1928. godine i bili ste na raznim funkcijama u vladi tokom vaše karijere. Uglavnom ste se bavili socijalnim i ekonomskim razvojem, bili ste ambasador u Italiji (Italy) krajem sedamdesetih godina. Da li ste 1989. godine bili izabrani kao srpski predstavnik u Predsedištvo SFRJ, da li ste bili potpredsednik tog Predsedni- štva od 5. maja 1989. godine do 15. maja 1990. godine. Da li ste bili pred- sednik od 15. maja 1990. do 15. maja 1991. godine? Da li ste posle toga bili predsednik Socijalističke partije Srbije od 24. maja 1991. godine do oktobra 1992. godine kada ste preuzeli funkciju od optuženog koji je tada sišao sa te funkcije i kad se on vratio kao vođa partije da li ste vi onda postali potpred- sednik stranke i ostali na toj funkciji do novembra 1995. godine? SVEDOK JOVIĆ – ODGOVOR: Da, tačno je to. TUŽILAC NAJS – PITANJE: Dakle, imajući to na umu, da li je tačno da ste vi napisali dve knjige od kojih se jedna zove ‘’Poslednji dani SFRJ’’, to je dnev- nik, a druga se zove ‘’Knjiga o Miloševiću’’? Da li ste takođe imali razgovor kao osumnjičeni sa Tužilaštvom u septembru 2002.

On the occasion of the opening ceremony, it gives me such great pleasure on behalf of Zhejiang Police College, and also on my own part, to extend a warm welcome to all the distinguished experts and delegates. At the same time, thanks for giving so much trust and support to Zhejiang Police College. Currently, the law-based governance of the country is comprehensively promoted in China. As Xi Jinping, Chinese president, said, “during the entire reform process, we should attach great importance to applying the idea of rule of law and the way of rule of law to play the leading and driving role of rule of law”.
