Russian Foreign Minister Andrei Kozyrev, under pressure at home
over his handling of the crisis in Bosnia, met with his Belarus
counterpart Vladimir Senko on Wenesday (13/9). Kozyrev has
previously hinted he may set up an opposition bloc of Russia,
Ukraine and Belarus if NATO continued bombing Bosnian Serb
targets. But on Wednesday he softened his stance, saying he
did not want an overall confrontation with the west. One Russian politician not afraid of confronting NATO is Vladimir Zhirinovsky: the colourful politician had fighting talk at a press conference today. When his party takes power, he promised, they would supply the Serbs with any weapon they wanted.
