Diplomatic scandal: Serbia urgently summoned its ambassador from Ukraine

Ukrainian Ambassador to Serbia gave an interview, in which focused mainly on the fact that Russia is using Serbia to destroy Europe.

Serbian Foreign Minister Ivica Dacic called Serbian Ambassador to Ukraine Rado Bulatovich for consultation, press service of the Serbian Ministry of External Affairs reports. Dacic plans to discuss with the Ambassador important issues of relations with Ukraine and “further measures” related to them.

A few days ago, the Ukrainian Ambassador to Serbia Alexander Alexandrovich gave an interview to the BIRN information portal, in which he focused mainly on the fact that Russia is using Serbia to destroy Europe. The reaction of the Serbian Ministry of External Affairs did not take long – the department accused the Ukrainian ambassador of intending to damage the friendly relations between Moscow and Belgrade and threatened with retaliatory measures.
Probably, this refers to the revocation of the accreditation of Aleksandrovich by the Serbian government and declaring him persona non grata.

Later, the leader of the Serbian Radical Party called for the expulsion of the Ukrainian ambassador from the country. It happened after Aleksandrovich in an interview with Balkan Insight stated that Serbia does not react enough to the facts of participation of its citizens in military operations in the Donbass on the side of the “DNR” and “LNR” forces.

Earlier, the chairman of the Security Service of Ukraine Vasily Gritsak said that more than 300 citizens of Serbia fought on the side of the separatists in the Donbass from the beginning of the War in Donbass in 2014.

Security Service of Ukraine also published data on six Serbian mercenaries who took part in hostilities against the anti-terror forces as a part of private military company Wagner.
