Russia links Kosovo with Georgia

Russia has indicated it may change its policy towards breakaway regions in Georgia if the West recognises the independence of Kosovo.
Moscow has repeatedly hinted it could recognise South Ossetia and Abkhazia if Kosovo separates from Serbia.

The foreign ministry said Moscow would "take into account" developments in Kosovo, but did not say how.

Kosovo may declare independence this weekend, and the US and most EU states are expected to recognise it quickly.

i didnt expect this,

russia have just announced they will recognise South Ossetia and Abkhazia if Kosivo is recognised as a Independent country.

i am woundering what will the rest of europe and the US do as they are willing to accept Kosovo as a independent country straight away.

could this threat of spliting of Serbia effect the views and actions of Europe and the US?

would we welcome new nation like we would Kosovo or try and block it?
