This comes from a Foreign Minister that proudly leads Serbia’s foreign policy in close alignment with #China, #Russia, and #Iran; #America’s fiercest adversaries. It is the height of hypocrisy for an MFA of a regime that glorifies war criminals, conceals mass graves of murdered Albanians, and arms terrorists on #Kosovo’s soil, to lecture anyone on principled foreign policy!
#Serbia’s only consistent legacy is one of genocide, ethnic cleansing, and war. Not peace.
Under @avucic (your boss’) leadership, you are standing in the shadow of the Butcher of Europe, Slobodan #Milosevic, whose genocidal vision remains the foundation of your politics today, and sadly, your career too.
So please tell the world: is @POTUS lying when he said today at the UNGA that he stopped the war Serbia tried to wage against Kosovo few months ago? Or does that truth expose what you’ve been trying to cover up all along?
Grateful to 🇬🇧 @CheveningFCDO & @UKinKosovo that enabled me to put our Republic of #Kosovo 🇽🇰on #Oxford’s Lincoln College global map today, alongside 600 inspiring alumni, marking the 600th anniversary of its academic excellence. Link: https://t.co/Ou1I8eAzMW
In #Kyiv, upon the invitation of the Chief Rabbi of Ukraine Moshe Azman, to inaugurate the donated bomb shelter at the Jewish Village of ‘Anatevka.’
I had the honor to address the attendees, alongside former President of the Republic of Croatia, Mrs. Kolinda Grabar-Kitarovic, where officials from the Ukraininan gov and army, ministers, MPs, and leaders from all religious denominations participated.
I emphasized that the people of #Kosovo understand perfectly well the Ukraininan struggle for freedom & democracy, and that Kosovo will proudly stand by Ukraine until our pathways meet in EU and NATO.

On the 25th anniversary of the #Reçak massacre, while we commemorate the profound sacrifice of the innocent victims, it is disheartening to still bear witnessing the standing memorial only, but justice still unserved!
Regrettably, #Serbia persists in denying this heinous crime, and justice for #Kosovo remains elusive even after a quarter century!
Do you know why is there a statue of former #Azerbaijani President #HeydarAliyev (former KGB) erected in #Belgrade#Serbia since 2011?!
Both countries worked rapidly & dynamically on improving political & military relations since 2011, when Azerbaijan raised hopes to regain control of its breakaway region of #NagornoKarabakh, and when Serbia started its illegal campaign to halt #Kosovo's universal recognition of its statehood & independence (which Azerbaijan does not yet acknowledge).
Reinforcing their strategic relationship with #Russia especially after its fullscale invasion of #Ukraine, both countries are also serving #Putin's playbook to create a situation of political, economic & security dependence on Russia & its allies, and most importantly, slow down the Euro-Atlantic integration of the Western Balkans.
Today, President #IlhamAliyev concluded his visit to #Serbia, including his attendance to a weapons display with @avucic (focusing on domestic defence industry equipment) and also attended an inauguration ceremony of Serbia-Bulgaria gas interconnector.
Meanwhile, #Serbia continues to be an unsanctioned "EU frontrunner" and NATO #PfP member.
While #Putin advances his interests on many fronts, the West overcomes the fact that appeasement breeds aggression!
