00:00On the final day of the Global Baku Forum, a panel on how to reset the international system.
00:06And many here are saying it's about time.
00:07Like two former leaders of what used to be the Balkan tinderbox criticizing the U.S.-Israeli war against Iran.
00:14The former president of Serbia slamming what he calls the wild side of history.
00:20Iran's war is triggering a new crisis after Ukraine, involving second big power in the war.
00:28Right now they can criticize each other.
00:30Russia, United States, United States, Russia, because of dismantling international law.
00:35But can make big problems and a crisis in all regional countries.
00:42Even Azerbaijan can be affected very much.
00:44A democratic opposition leader against the Milosevic regime, Tadic criticizes the U.S.-led bombings of Serbia during the Kosovo War
00:53and other actions today.
00:55When big powers are trying to conquer part of other sovereign countries, or intervening like this, capturing presidents of other
01:05countries, or killing presidents of other countries at the member state of the United Nations.
01:10This is a disaster situation.
01:12So what's the solution?
01:13Tadic says no way out without a U.N.-led reset.
01:16The White House and Donald Trump, they are failing, underestimating Iran.
01:20They cannot finish that conflict within a few weeks.
01:25This is not possible.
01:27And this is not a likelihood solution of the current conflict.
01:30I think that we need interlocutors right now.
01:33We are bringing to the wild side of the history.
01:37And we have to come back to the international law.
01:40And this is the only solution we can have.
01:43We have to enhance authority of the United Nations, multilateral institutions.
01:47And the former president of Croatia, who led his country to EU membership in 2013, fears a downward global spiral
01:55without a diplomatic solution.
01:57Things like oil, energy, like food.
02:01There are many, many people who are escaping, who are trying to escape from the war.
02:07It causes another problem.
02:09And it's a very, very huge humanitarian problem as well.
02:13That's why he even fears a third world war.
02:16This type of war tends to generate new wars, especially when superpowers are interested in development, like Russia, like China
02:24and the others.
02:25So I'm really afraid that the possible scenario is also the global war.
02:31That's all for now as the Global Baku Forum wraps up with a war on its doorstep.
02:36Chris Burns, Euronews, Baku, Azerbaijan.
