Russia is not against NATO; we are against its expansion

Summary/Abstract: Skilled diplomat, observant and articulate professional, the first man of Russian diplomacy in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and a special expert on the situation in the Western Balkans – in our interview, ambassador Kharchenko proved to be a very pleasant and engaging conversationalist whose interpretations, not only of diplomatic but also of key political and security issues, cannot be disregarded. In a dynamic discussion characterized by a high level of constructive disagreement, ambassador Kharchenko talked about relations between NATO and Russia, the Russian proposal for a system of European security, political and economic relations between Russia and Bosnia and Herzegovina, as well as about issues within Bosnia and Herzegovina, putting special focus on the importance of strengthening the entities while, at the same time, not hiding on which side of the Bosnian-Herzegovinian triangle his sympathy lies.
