Report: Envoy Warns Russia Could Use Force Over Kosovo -AFP
MOSCOW (AFP)--Russia could resort to "brute force" if NATO or the European Union defy the U.N. on Kosovo, Moscow's envoy to the military alliance said Friday, Interfax news agency reported.
"If the European Union works out a common position, or if NATO breaches its mandate in Kosovo, these organizations will be in conflict with the United Nations," Dmitry Rogozin said in a video link-up from Brussels.
"We too will have to proceed from the view that in order to be respected we must use brute force, in other words armed force."
