- <p> At the usually decorous Conference on Security and
- Cooperation in Europe meeting in Stockholm, diplomats rocketed
- from their seats when Russian Foreign Minister Andrei Kozyrev
- tossed out the diplomatic equivalent of a fragmentation grenade:
- a blistering anti-Western philippic right out of the cold war.
- After giving delegates 30 minutes to digest demands that the
- West immediately end U.N. sanctions in Serbia and get out of the
- Baltics, Kozyrev returned to explain that the speech was a ruse.
- His intended message: Don't take Russian democracy for granted.
