Kremlin, spying scandal won’t darken Russia-Serbia talks
Belgrade remains a rare ally of Moscow in Europe
22 November, 13:26
(ANSA-AP) - MOSCOW, 22 NOV - The Kremlin says Serbia's
president will visit Russia on Dec. 4 and insists a spying
scandal will not cloud it.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Friday that "certain
parties would like to darken this event, but we're sure they
will not succeed."
The video, posted on YouTube on Nov. 17, apparently shows a
Russian military intelligence agent bribing a Serb officer
during a meeting in Belgrade. Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic
confirmed its authenticity on Thursday but said the scandal
would not affect the country's relationship with Russia.
Serbia remains a rare ally of Moscow in Europe, having
refused to impose Western sanctions against Russia and vowing to
stay out of NATO. (ANSA-AP).
