Belarusian President Accuses Russia Of Surrendering Yugoslavia

While commenting on Kosova's declaration of independence the day before, President Lukashenka said on February 18 that Russia should have defended Yugoslavia and then there would not have been such an issue, Belapan reported. "I can say today to those who regretted and opposed the air strikes on Yugoslavia: aren't we too late to tackle this?" Lukashenka asked. "It was then necessary to prevent the partition of the Balkan region. It was then necessary to defend Yugoslavia. Then we and Russia had everything for that. It is too late today to 'sing songs.' The process began long ago. It is under way," he said. "We lost our influence there long ago. We should not have allowed that and then there would not have been independence issues," Lukashenka added. AM
