Serbia cannot have a permission for chaos among protests – the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs – Russian politics and diplomacy

Moscow, January 30. /TASS /. The ongoing protests in Serbia must proceed reasonably so as not to throw the country into total chaos, because the country is already in the face of numerous external and internal challenges, said a spokeswoman for the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs Maria Zakharova.

“Street protests in Serbia, which broke out three months ago as a reaction to the tragedy at Novi Sad Train Station, became common. The sadness of the public is understandable and our heart comes out to them, “says a comment. “Unfortunately, these things happen,” Zakharova continued.

“It is extremely important that protesters, especially public figures, work reasonably and do not allow them to escalate because of their emotions,” emphasized the diplomat. “We can’t let chaos prevail in Serbia. The country is already facing numerous external and internal challenges, “she added.

“Remember about the national motto of Serbia:” Only unity saves Serbs. ” But today the division is the greatest danger. “The law enforcement agencies work professionally, respecting people’s right to a peaceful gathering. Serious steps are taken to solve existing tensions, while dealing with public fears, “continued the diplomat. According to the spokeswoman, the Serbian authorities listen to criticism and engage in direct dialogue with all parties through political channels.

“We believe that this is the only real path to reaching universal agreement in the interest of the protection of sovereignty, national dignity and traditional values, maintaining internal stability in this country and ensuring its territorial integrity in relation to Kosovo and Metohija,” said Zakharova.

“We are convinced that Serbia will be able to preserve the brotherly Serbia as a characteristic, self-sufficient and respected state and that it will not allow the country to lose this position,” she added.

Russia values ​​its friendly relations with Serbia and wishes for peaceful settlement in crisis as soon as possible, summed up the diplomat.
