Daily Gazeta ran with the front page headline “EUR 1bn for old debt,” stating that the talks had chiefly focused on economic issues, especially the Serbian stake in the South Stream gas pipeline and the EUR 1bn loan that Moscow reportedly promised to Belgrade.
It was stated that the Russian money could help ease social tensions in the country, which has been hard hit by the economic crisis, the daily writes.
Vremya said that the start of the first visit by a Russian president to Serbia looked “a bit modest,” but that this did not stop Medvedev from honoring all his promises.
Medvedev gave support to the Serbian position on Kosovo and showed understanding for Belgrade’s wish to integrate into the EU, the daily wrote.
Vremya added that the exact size of the loan had not been made clear and that negotiations had run all day regarding the issue.
The daily writes that the visit clearly demonstrated Russia’s unwavering support over the Kosovo issue, which was “music to the ears of Serbian President Boris Tadić.”
Daily RBK stated that Serbia had made an extra effort to make sure that Medvedev enjoyed his visit.

But these politicians are here to stay and cannot be removed by any vote so wishing is not going to do it.
Look at things the way they are and not the way they should be and you will see that Serbia does not belong in that clickly club set up only to serve interests of few who will rule over all the others.

Putin just got a huge loan from China two weeks ago. Hundreds of billions of dollars if I am not mistaken. It would be interesting to know what the interest that Russia would have to pay to China is versus the interest that Serbia would have to pay to Russia is because it can be easily pointed out that this is a second hand loan. Loan to Serbia from China via Russia. I wonder what Russia's cut is.

Sorry, but when I write facts are never posted. Don't know why. Maybe the truth hurts.

If what you wrote here is indeed a FACT, then how come it WAS posted? Don't know why. Maybe the truth is on our side...

If they back their illegal decisions of recognition Kosovo pseudoindependence - than I will have any problem with EU. I have any problem with Spain (beautifil country), Slovakia, Greece, Romania or Cyprus. And with other countries too. I have any problem with european ideas.
Only problem are EU politicians, who don't hear Europeans and who broke international law.

defn: selectivism - they don't want to show what they don't want to see. it's kind of like when you make some absurd claim on these forums. we all disprove it with facts, links and citations but you selectively ignore those rebuttals and continue to sound like a broken record that nobody can turn off...

who cares about russian media? they are all controlled by putin and medvedev and we all know that
(dan-ch, 22 October 2009 00:12)
What about american media which is fully controlled by AIPEC.Still better when media is controlled out of national interests then interests of a lobby which destroys the country from inside.
(szemi, 22 October 2009 01:57)
Of course the drive by media didn't cover it as much, why should they? As the mouth piece for the administraion out of Washington, negotiations which succeed outside the imperialist influence are a direct slap in the face to their incompetence.
Ziveli to the Russia Bear and the Serbian Eagle!

And why should they pay any attention to it? This is between Serbs and Russians and no one else.
The only thing world media mentioned when Bush visited Albania was when albanians stole his watch.

Russia is LOANING 1bn EUR to Serbia to get RUSSIAN contractors to build and/or subcontract. Russia will make money out of this deal through INTEREST from the loan and the Russian companies that will do business.
Of course, how could I forgot that with such support for Anti-Kosova and Anti-Albanianis, Russia bought Nis oil company for pennies on the dollar.
(KOSOVARi, 21 October 2009 16:00)
One lovely LITTLE detail just emerged: Russian aid of EUR 1 bill will be, following the contract, used for sorting out our public deficit, fixing up the infrastructure...bla, bla...and establishing joint Serbian-Russian "emergency base" around city of Nis which would act and react in the case of natural or...disaters in the Region of SE Europe.
Please feel free to read slowly, and thanks God yes, getting the Russian effective force close to the Kosovo border.
YIHAAAAAA, there we are "boys and girls"...we are coming to get you.

USA have for Serbia bombs and uranium bullets, EU have for Serbia illegal created state on serbian national territory, Russia have for Serbia billion $.
i´m a bit dissapointed because of russian backing for eu-entry and giving the yellow bunch more money to burn ...
russia should have made that dependent on correct voting, like our western "friends" ...
but all in all, it was a long overdue visit from number one.
i hope not the last, and i hope next time medo will bring vladi with him ...
thanks for everything dimitry anatolyevich, especially for prolonging putins policy of unconditional help!!!
one of the first actions of putin after getting in office was the free trade agreement with serbia. but at a time when russia itself was on it´s knees.
that´s the reason that serbia survived our "western friends" and meanwhile has a higher living-standard than some eu-members.
