Lavrov: West tried to make Serbia choose between sanctions on Russia, coup d'état Sputnik 2–3 minutes _____ The west tried to give Serbia a choice – either to join the sanctions against Russia, or they would try to stage a coup in Serbia, said Russian Foreign Affairs Minister Sergey Lavrov. “In recent years Washington did not like the fact that Ukraine is Russia’s neighbor and that it wanted to establish normal working relations with its neighbor. They began drawing it into the European Union (EU) under the slogan ‘either with us or with Russia.’ That ‘either-or’ never went away. Look at Serbia, they are now telling them the same thing. Join sanctions against Russia, give up Kosovo, recognize its independence, and then we will let you into the EU. If not – they tried to stage a coup,” Lavrov said in an interview with Sputnik and Russia 24. He recalled the reaction of the EU and US to the recent Serbian elections. “They accused the Serbian authorities of disinformation during local elections, of voter buying. That was also the message from Washington when the campaign to eliminate Trump from the elections began, simply because the ruling elite wanted it. That caused a wave of discontent in the USA,” added Lavrov. He said that this, however, means nothing to the American administration, that they can do whatever they want, and tell others what to do. The Russian Foreign Minister stressed that many states realized this which is why an increasing number of countries are telling Moscow “we are with you,” reported Sputnik. -- http:www.antic.org --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "SERBIAN NEWS NETWORK" group.
