Chukov pojašnjava kako bi, s obzirom na tradicionalnu podršku koju Srbija dobiva od Kremlja, Dume, Ruske pravoslavne crkve i akademskih krugova, Rusija mogla promijeniti svoj stav po pitanju Kosova samo ako to učini i Srbija.
Chukov explained that given the traditional support Serbia receives from the Kremlin, Duma, Russian Orthodox Church and academic circles, Russia may change its position on Kosovo only if Serbia does so.
