“Putin is using Serbia to destroy Europe”, the ambassador explodes

He also said Russian President Vladimir Putin “does not care for Serbia”, but uses Serbia as “another instrument to destroy Europe”.

“Russia is encouraging Serbian separatism in Republika Srpska to destabilise Bosnia and Herzegovina”, Alexandrovych told “BIRN” during an interview where he presented Kiev's view of Russia's policies, but also Kiev's criticism at the expense of Serbia, its officials and citizens.

Listing what he considers to be a series of destabilising actions of Russia in the Balkans, he argued that Moscow “uses the Serbian factor to destabilise Macedonia, plays an active role in placing Kosovo Serbs against Kosovo Albanians and selling its planes to Serbia to create tensions with Croatia”, reports “b92”, Periscope broadcast.

“A is what Serbian people really want, you (being referring to the state of Serbia) let Russia use you to destroy Europe where you want to study and work. This makes no sense, so Western officials demand that Serbia not be seated in two chairs --” -- he says.

He added that “this is the reason Western officials are urging Serbia not to sit at the same time in two” chairs.

The diplomat also said Serbia's image in Ukraine was negative, “irrespective of the Slavic ties of both states and the long tradition of cultural ties and co-operation”.

When you have Serbian politicians travelling to Crime and praising Putin for its “The wise and strong”, when you have Serbian mercenaries, when you have Serbia voting in the UN against Ukraine, all of this naturally creates a negative image of Serbia in Ukraine,” he added.

These Serbian mercenaries discredit the Serbian nation in the eyes of Ukrainian friendly people, who never did anything wrong against Serbs,” said Alexandrovic.

Our parliaments do not travel to Kosovo, we play our football or basketball games against Kosovo in neutral fields because we do not know Kosovo and Ukrainian passports do not come to Serbia to kill Serbs”, he said./Periscopi/
