That makes NIS practically a present for Russians... and I don't support that at all.

Well ,yes. If you look at it just that way, in terms of economy. But if selling NIS was the only way to gain strong Russian support for Kosovo (and a possible gas pipeline in the future), then you should look at it as a political deal (which it is).
I believe the good sides of the deal will show up in the future.
But then again, selling NIS at 5 times lower price than the market value is not good for the economy.
At least we've secured an ally. Without the deal, we wouldn't have a single ally in the world. And that can't be good.
Now you see what that sick arse Milosevic has done to us.
