Belgrade. Archive photoBELGRADE, June 18 By its actions to recognize the self-proclaimed Republic of Kosovo, the West has deprived itself of the right to condemn the recognition and assistance of Russia to the republics of Donbass, as Russian President Vladimir Putin pointed out, said Serbian Interior Minister Alexander Vulin.Putin , speaking at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum on Friday, said that Russia's actions in the Donbass, from a legal point of view, are fully consistent with international law, in contrast to the US actions in Libya or Iraq, «where no one called the Americans.» He also recalled the decision of the International Court of Justice on Kosovo, which created a legal precedent for the Russian Federation to recognize the independence of the LPR and the DPR. Belgrade will not go against Moscow «Having recognized the so-called Kosovo as a state, the West took advantage of the right of the strong, and this stick has two ends. In Serbia in 1999, NATO aggression killed international law, and nothing will revive it in Ukraine. Russia refers to the example of the West and those who gave her this example hardly have a moral argument to condemn what they themselves established as a principle If those who recognized the so-called Kosovo understood the mistake and withdrew their recognition, perhaps they would have an argument to condemn Russia, instead they demand from Serbia to recognize Kosovo, so that Serbia atones for their sin with its recognition,» the Serbian Interior Ministry quotes Vulin's comment on the Russian leader's statement. «Russia does not change its position and does not recognize it as such. called (self-proclaimed) Kosovo, even if the whole world recognizes it, Serbia does not recognize the so-called Kosovo, and this is the most important thing,» the Serbian interior minister emphasized. .jpg» />The head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Serbia reproached the European Parliament with arrogance because of Kosovo and Russia
