Russian Ambassador Denies that Russia Accepted the US-EU UN Resolution on Kosovo

May 29, 2007 (LPAC)--Ambassador Vitaly Churkin started his UN Security Council media stakeout on Tuesday, May 29 by denying as "extravagant reports"that Russsia would not veto a UNSC resolution granting Kosovo independence. Churkin added that "so far as the fundamental differences are concerned, they have not changed at all."
