Igor Ivanov, Russian foreign minister

NATO is wrong to think that it could force Belgrade to accept the Rambouillet agreement. There is no military solution to the crises, only political, Russian foreign minister stresses.

Ivanov also points out that the people of Yugoslavia are more united than ever and that Russia is advocating for the political solution, throughout the dialogue of all the sides and with the participation of the United Nations and the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE).

Russian foreign minister says that now all depends on the development of the situation. If it becomes worse and the Russian security is endangered the adequate measures would be undertaken, he says.

If the so-far used model of NATO activities continues in the future, we will be forced to face with the third world war, Russian foreign minister Igor Ivanov stresses.
