“This is against the background of how the West gradually starts to drag Serbia into NATO. It is said to them: “You have to be in NATO, in particular Montenegro, because it is your safety. We’ll keep you safe”. The same thing they say in Serbia. How can you defend this country when you if there is information about what people are hostages, bomb them? What kind of security? What are you talking about? I think this is such a special kind of humiliation, the imposition of “Stockholm syndrome”, when they make their victims love and publicly admit that they want to them”, – said the official representative of the Russian foreign Ministry.
Earlier it became known that two employees of Embassy of Serbia in Tripoli, abducted by militants in November 2015, have died as a result of air strikes by U.S. forces on a camp of the terrorist group “Islamic state” (banned in Russia) in Libya.
