Iran, Serbia discuss cooperation

I knew that Serbia and Iran are and was friends. They have a common enemy.

Let me also say Kostunica is Balkans Ahmadinejad. Same rhetoric.

But still, someone is missing. Have you forgotten Mugabe?

What a turn around for Iran. From the Bosnian war whence it sent 747s full of weapons to Zagreb (with the backing of the Clinton administration) then to be passed on to the Bosnian Moslems (after the Croats had taken their cut)... they now want to expand trade with Serbia.

So, do the Iranians like the dyed in the wool Media still believe that Serbia is 'responsible for genocide in Bosnia' regardless of the ICJ ruling?

If the Iranians don't have a problem (they're moslem by the way), and the Indonesians (they're moslem too) who are against independence for Kosovo, then what about those who refuse to accept the ICJ ruling? Sad, very sad indeed.

Iran and Serbia are not "friends" nor do they wish to be, this is purely business not politics.

Oh for God's sake ????, get over it. By that logic, I could argue that Ceku and Bin Laden are pen pals because of the common ideals they share on terrorism. Your comments have been better than this in the past, my friend.

Iran is not a threat. The Saudis are as they are the ones giving tens of millions of dollars to Bosnia to create truly horrible mosques (not rebuilding the beautiful 'classic' ones) and having a Saudi Mullah leading them and proclaiming wahabism as the true islam.

It's bad, very bad for Bosnia if this is allowed to continue. In Europe, for example the netherlands, they want to ban non-native moslems (i.e. saudis/wahabis) from leading prayers in their mosques).

As for Iran, it certainly is business and shows how pragmatic they can be (i.e. the opposite of that comedian known as Ahmedin-Najad). They are trying to diversify investment and economic ties before their economy falls apart.

Funny, no mass rallies in Tehran against the ICJ ruling...

Iran’s prestige and influence are in the ascendance. The US inviting them recently for talks on how to stabilize Iraq is a clear indication of their importance in the Middle East. One would be foolish to ignore a strong regional power like Iran in an economically vital area. Serbia should play off Tito’s reputation and role in the founding of the Non-Aligned Movement. This should be taken as an invitation to resume such a role between East and West such has been Serbia’s destiny, geographically, historically and traditionally. Stronger ties with Energy Giants like Russia and Iran is critically important in times as these with such large international demand. Serbia MUST have cheap access to power in order to bring her economic standards and industrial production up to Western levels. Yugoslav goods had an excellent reputation in the Soviet Union, we must take advantage of Eastern markets for our goods. We must not let the EU dictate Market conditions, tariffs and regulations for our goods. Strengthening our ties to other parts of the world will only make us a more valuable partner for EU countries. We should maintain neutrality in the coming global economic confrontations that are inevitably going to occur not only between East and West, but between EU and US. Consider China’s minor bump in its stock exchange reverberated around the world. They lost like half what they gained last month, nothing for how their market has grown. But it hit the US hard. Who’s dictating the World economy now? Who should Serbia really be doing business with?

Matthew,

You are spot on. In a globalized economy, the 'West' is not the only option. Serbia has a very good skill base and is geostrategically located.

Serbia is already rebuilding its ties with the non-aligned movement. There has been plenty of reports in the last few years about agreements/visits with/to Libya, Mynmar etc. etc. Many o them moslem states, which lends lie to the myth that the serbs are 'anti-moslem' rather than they've had enough of being abused by the Albanians
