As it became known from the report by the doctors who visited professor Vojislav Šešelj on January 27-28, his state of health is critical.

The views expressed by Sergey Lavrov at the January 18 media conference reflect Russia's evolution over the past years from a country which – at the cost of its great power status but to the liking of powerful external players and its domestic fifth column – used to be ready to steer a fully dependent course to that demonstrating newly found assertiveness in the international politics.
