俄罗斯第一副总理梅德韦捷夫对塞尔维亚的领导人说，俄罗斯支持塞尔维亚对科索沃的主权，这一立场不会改变。
梅德韦捷夫和俄罗斯的外交部长拉夫罗夫目前正在贝尔格莱德和塞尔维亚亲西方的总统塔迪奇以及身为民族主义者的总理科什图尼察举行会谈。
梅德韦捷夫说，莫斯科的立场是：塞尔维亚是一个单一的国家，对其全部领土拥有司法管辖权。
预期梅德韦捷夫将赢得俄罗斯在下个星期日举行的总统选举，继普京之后成为俄罗斯领袖。
俄罗斯和塞尔维亚还签署了一项15亿美元的交易协议，把俄罗斯的天然气经由将穿越塞尔维亚的新管道送往西欧。
Russia’s Deputy Prime Minister Dmitri Medvedev has told Serbian leaders there will be no shift in his country’s support for Serb sovereignty over Kosovo.
Medvedev and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov are in Belgrade for talks with Serbia’s (pro-western) President Boris Tadic and (nationalist) Prime Minister Vojislav Kostunica.
Medvedev says Moscow’s position is that Serbia is a single state whose jurisdiction covers all of its territory.
Medvedev is expected to win next Sunday’s presidential election in Russia, and follow Vladimir Putin as the leader of the country.
Russia and Serbia also signed a one-and-a-half billion-dollar gas deal designed to bring Russian gas to Western Europe through a new pipeline to run (from the Black Sea) through Serbia.
