In a press conference, the spokeswoman of the Russian Foreign Ministry sent a warning to Serbia.
Maria Zaharova stated that if Serbia agrees to impose sanctions on Russia, it would turn into a slave state, deprived of Moscow's help.
"If Serbia had agreed to impose sanctions on Russia, it would now be a slave state, deprived of the aid provided by Russia, including in the energy sector. In return, it would receive only new demands from the West, but no assistance. This is very important to understand. Especially since many young people in Serbia have no painful memories of the bombings of Yugoslavia, they did not survive them and cannot understand that situation.
They were born in another time and can learn about it only through books and history… They must understand that the West is now lying to them by making promises that will not be fulfilled, besides, they only make demands and turn them into slaves," declared the Russian diplomat.
during the press conference, Zaharova accused the West of trying to topple Serbian President Aleksander Vucic from power with the same scenario used in Ukraine in 2014.
