In a new series, I will be introducing a series of commentators on international affairs whose views are (in my opinion) inherently redundant. First up, Borislav Milosevic on the Nobel prize:
MOSCOW – The brother of late Serbian leader Slobodan Milosevic on Friday condemned the choice of the former Kosovo negotiator Martti Ahtisaari for the Nobel Peace Prize.
“It’s rare for the Nobel Prize to be used for political goals, this is one of those,” Borislav Milosevic, the former Yugoslav ambassador to Russia, told Echo of Moscow radio.
“I’m distressed by this decision and I do not consider Ahtisaari a deserving winner,” said Milosevic, the Moscow-based brother of the former autocratic Serbian president who died in 2006.
