                            <p>Eski Yugoslavya’daki savaşlar – hem Bosna hem daha sonra Kosova’da – şüphesiz Rusya Federasyonu dahil olmak üzere uluslararası toplumun merakını uyandırdı. Kosova’daki savaşın ve NATO müdahalesinin ardından, Batı ülkeleri ile Rusya arasındaki ilişkiler bir bozuluş sürecine girdi. ‘90lı yıllardan sonra Rus diplomasisi Rusya’nın Batı ülkeleri ile aynı statüde olduğu konusunda sürekli ısrar etti. Hatta kararlı bir şekilde Avrupa güvenlik mimarisinin geleceği konusunda kendisine danılışması gerektiğini savundu.Bu makalenin amacı okuyuculara Rusya Federasyonu&#039;nun Kosova savaşındaki rolünü ve NATO&#039;nun askeri müdahalesine Rusya&#039;nın tepkisini sunmaktır.Görüleceği üzere, Rusya’nın endişesi bu savaş sonrasında uluslararası ilişkilerin yeni şekillenme biçimi ve daha genel olarak Avrupa güvenliğinde NATO’nun büyüyen rolü idi. Bu makalede kullanılacak olan temel yöntem nitel yöntemdir. Kosova savaşı döneminde Rus dış politikasını karakterize eden gelişmeleri tasvir etmek için betimsel yöntemi de kullanacağız. Hükümet belgeleri ve BM veya NATO yayınları gibi ikincil kaynaklar veri toplama olarak kullanılacaktır.</p></trans-abstract>

As a result of the war in Kosovo, namely with the NATO intervention, relations between Western countries and Russia entered a deterioration phase. Russian diplomacy after the 1990s consistently insisted that its status was equal to that of the Western countries, while even resolutely claiming that it was to be consulted when it came to the future of the security architecture in Europe. The purpose of this article is to present to the readers the role of the Russian Federation in the Kosovo war and Russia’s reaction to the NATO military intervention. As we will see, Russia’s main concern was the shape that international relations were taking in the post-Kosovo period, and NATO’s increasing role in the larger European security.In this article the main method which will be used is qualitative method. We will use the descriptive method also, to describe the developments that characterized Russian foreign policy in the period of Kosovo war. Secondary sources will be used as data collection such as government documents or publications from UN or NATO.</p></abstract>
