Moscow is not prepared to bargain over Kosovo or Washington's plans for a missile shield in Europe and the West must understand this, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Monday.

He said Kosovo, a Serbian province pressing for independence, and the U.S. plan to station parts of a missile shield in eastern Europe, represented for Russia "red lines" which must not be crossed.

"It should be understood that we have red lines, that is where our national security or the world order is threatened," Lavrov said in a speech to students at the Moscow State Institute of International Affairs.
