Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić said today that he was disappointed by the statement of British Foreign Minister David Cameron, who called Serbia a "proxy of Russia".
During his visit to the Russian House in Belgrade, Vučić added that Serbia is an independent country and that it is not a proxy for Russia, America, Britain, Germany, or anyone else.
"You bother many people when you want to have your own policy, it is not obedient and we will continue to lead an independent policy both in the matter of the Russian Federation and in the matter of others," said Vučić, during a visit to the Russian House in Belgrade.
David Cameron, during his testimony in the Foreign Affairs Committee of the British Parliament on January 9, stated that he should express dissatisfaction with the behavior of the Government of Serbia after the September events in Banjska, when a Kosovo policeman was killed.
He also said that it is time to change the attitude of the West towards Kosovo and the Western Balkans, warning that Russia aims to destabilize the Western Balkans region.
"I think the West's attitude towards Kosovo and the Western Balkans was created before Russia attacked Ukraine. Now we have to think a lot about what has changed, because of course Russia wants to do more to destabilize the Western Balkans, to do more through its allies, including Serbia, to make these countries, including countries like Moldova, less safe. So we have to work to find ways to fight that. I think our policy is tough and realistic," Cameron said.
Vučić intends to congratulate the unconstitutional Republika Srpska Day in the future
The President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić, said on Wednesday that he did not organize the celebration in the Bosnian entity Republika Srpska to mark January 9, but that he congratulated the RS Day.
He added that he congratulated the Republika Srpska Day last year as well, and that he intends to congratulate it in the future as well.
"I am proud of the fact that not only the leadership, but also all the people in the RS know that Serbia has never in history helped the RS as much as it does today," said Vučić.
On January 9, fireworks were organized in Belgrade on the occasion of RS Day, which was declared unconstitutional by the Constitutional Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The message "Happy birthday Republika Srpska" was written on the tower of Belgrade on the water.
The Constitutional Court of BiH declared January 9 as the Day of the RS unconstitutional three times, and the Venice Commission, the advisory body of the Council of Europe for constitutional issues, discriminatory.
According to the court decision, it is not disputed that the entity has its own day, but its marking on January 9 is disputed.
On that date in 1992, the Assembly of the Serbian People in Bosnia and Herzegovina adopted the Declaration on the Declaration of the Republic of the Serbian People of Bosnia and Herzegovina as an independent entity within Bosnia and Herzegovina.
At the head of the self-proclaimed republic were Radovan Karadžić, Biljana Plavšić and Momčilo Krajišnik, who were convicted by the Hague Tribunal for war crimes.
Representatives of Bosniaks and Croats did not participate in making the declaration.
