Von Cramon says EU can’t tolerate Serbia’s behavior, Selakovic responds Author:nova.rs, N1 Belgrade 2-3 minutes _____ Viola von Cramon MEP told Nova.rs on Thursday that the European Union can no longer tolerate official Belgrade’s behavior in terms of the sanctions imposed on Russia for its invasion of Ukraine, drawing a fierce reaction from Serbian Foreign Minister Nikola Selakovic. Von Cramon is a member of the European Parliament Delegation to the EU-Serbia Stabilisation and Association Parliamentary Committee. She said that Belgrade’s failure to align with EU sanctions policy and the deepening of its relations with Russia was what caused the EU to take its latest decision. She said that Serbia’s attitude towards Russia during the brutal aggression on Ukraine is viewed as an open, unnecessary provocation by Belgrade. According to her, the policy of sitting on two chairs is practically at an end and Serbia could be the collateral damage of its own position. She said she expects Serbia to align with the EU. Von Cramon’s words drew a fierce reaction from Serbian Foreign Minister Nikola Selakovic who said her words showed the senselessness of the policy of pressure and punishment of Serbia. Selakovic said in a written statement that the words collateral damage used by Von Cramon’s political fathers for Serbian civilians killed in the NATO air campaign against Serbia “have reared their heads in the European political vocabulary again”. He said that state neutrality was respected even in WW 2 with no pressure exerted on the countries that chose not to be involved in the conflict “and Von Cramon’s state respected the neutrality of Sweden, Spain and Switzerland… with some exceptions because the military of the country Von Cramon comes from bombed Belgrade after its residents dared express their freedom-loving and anti-fascist views,” he said. “Serbia is neutral and freedom-loving and is proud of it but Von Cramon is not neutral when she lobbies for Albanian separatists in Kosovo or when she deliberately uses cynical and provocative language to insult the citizens of this country and advocate sanctions on Serbia,” the statement said. -- http:www.antic.org --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "SERBIAN NEWS NETWORK" group.
