US-presence in these countries is in agreement with the current democratic governments

Is UNO or Russia or ... against this and the current political systems ?
No one is against the current situation. Let the US disentangle themselves the **** that they're created.

Russia does not interfere in politics neighbors the United States, the United States intervenes in the policy of Russia's neighbors.

The problem had to be solved through negotiations. NATO has created a precedent that's Russians used in Georgia in a similar situation.

Because Serbs defended their country. US not decided on a full-scale war.

Times ideological confrontation have passed. Russia and Germany must quickly forget the old grievances and establish normal economic and military alliance. But for this you need to stop being a vassal of the United States.

And it's time to forget all these parades on Victory Day and feelings of repentance. We must look to the future and build a normal Europe.

.
The Kosovo insurgency formula has been played out over and over again in other countries.

'CIA's bastard army ran riot in Balkans' backed extremists' | World news | The Guardian

The police in Kosovo were no match for paramilitary groups that were backed by the CIA or BND.

The Guardian (linked above) used to be one of the better newspapers. I used to read it and other British papers all the time before Cameron clamped down on reporting after the NSA and GCHQ scandals were leaked. The US papers blacked out a lot of the stories that were getting coverage in the UK, including the US terror plots comprised almost entirely of FBI stings, ongoing US oversight of the Iraqi death squads and torture, Petraeus' divide-and-rule policy in Iraq, the CIA's complicity in Taliban terror plots in Pakistan, and so on.

Re: "And it's time to forget all these parades on Victory Day and feelings of repentance. We must look to the future and build a normal Europe"

Maksim Maksim....Illegally -annexing territory post-war in modern Europe today and continually destabilizing a neighbor cannot be a way to bring around a 'normal' Europe. It is a myth to think Europe has moved on from the war since each country has its own ills that still are in memory and governing attitudes. Russia apparently continues to pick the scab of wounds that haven't healed.

I was surprised to read on how Russia is approaching their history of Ukraine especially the '33 Famine. In writing a new history of the Donetsk region's relationship with Russia, the separatist education minister has thrown out the previous Ukrainian history focusing on brutal repression under Stalin. There was great death among Ukrainians. Instead the new view being taught has the Famine practically ignored in the revised history syllabus. It gets a little attention but not much. One more kick by Russia to dissolve Ukrainian identity.

How can there be a 'normal' Europe when this is going on beggars belief.

1. For you - illegal, for us - legal, based on a referendum.
2. Destabilize the neighbor is not Russia, but West. Yanuokvich called early elections, but West has supported the military coup. Why? It cannot be a way to bring around a 'normal' Europe.

After separation from USSR, Ukraine published history textbooks that are blamed for everything Russia. This terrible xenophobic textbooks that incite hatred. Why 'normal' Europe was not against it, I do not know.

Yes, Wikipedia - is a good resource. Kosovo have independence without UN mandate. Serbia was bombed, but defended its independence.

There are also some reference in the timelines to peace agreements being abrutly scuttled by the US and leading to the wars in Bosnia and Serbia. It's been a while since I've read the background on Yugoslavia, but the conditions for the breakup of the federation and the wars were created when the IMF forced the Yugoslavia into accepting an IMF-appointed economist to manage the economy in order to avoid a debt default.
