Latin America breathed easier Saturday after Colombia and Ecuador found a peaceful resolution to a crisis that fiery Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez helped stir and then quell.

To general surprise, Chavez, who only days earlier was stoking the fires by ordering his own troops to Colombia's border, intervened during a tense summit Friday to ease regional tensions, setting himself up as the agent of peace.

"We cannot continue to blow the winds of war," Chavez declared at the Rio Group summit in Santo Domingo after Ecuadoran President Rafael Correa and Colombia's US-backed leader Alvaro Uribe traded recriminations.

President Vladimir Putin has warned that relations between Russia and the West will not be any simpler under his successor Dmitry Medvedev.

The outgoing Russian president made the comments after talks in Moscow with German Chancellor Angela Merkel.

Serbia's Prime Minister Vojislav Kostunica has said his coalition has collapsed and is calling for elections.

The move follows his failure to get his cabinet to reject closer ties with the European Union in the wake of Kosovo's declaration of independence.

Mr Kostunica, a nationalist, has described the decision by EU states to recognise Kosovo as illegal.

Serbian President Boris Tadic has said he will call elections, but did not set a date for the poll.

The discovery has the proud Danes itching for revenge.
