Why were western countries fighting each other to be the first to recognize Kosovo?

Question

And are now risking war with Russia by refusing to recognize South Ossetia? Does the west have something against Slavs?

Answer 1

because they don't want that russia becomes more powerful and has more oil

i agree with you after reading some information about south ossetia it's the same the situation than kosovo

the UE and the USA want to reduce the Russia influence in Estern Europe they support kosovo because serbia is a Russia ally, they support georgia because the president is close to the UE, they support all government close to them and not to Russia

excuse me u should informe yourselve before insulting people and talk

see that and tell me after that there is no oil in ossetia

russia doesn't care about ossetia if there is nothing interesting there!!!! wake up

Answer 2

there is no oil in Ossetia!!! MOI stop disinformation...

Concerning the question, I think they have something against Russia and would have it even if Russia was of an African or Asian origin... they are afraid of the concurrent and someone who can prevent themto do whatever they want to do, where they want to do and when!
