Vucic cannot laugh at the Facebook message and thinks the statement says something about the spokeswoman herself, “with her primitivism and vulgarity”. He also regrets Moscow’s lack of appreciation for Serbia, which has traditionally been an ally of Russia. The Serbian Defense Minister Vulin also calls the message in a statement an insult to Belgrade.
Excuses
The Serbian president visited the White House last week an agreement with neighboring Kosovo, which seceded from Serbia in 2008. The rivals agreed to normalize relations. It was also agreed to establish the Israeli embassies in Jerusalem, a wish of President Trump.
Zacharova has now supplemented her Facebook message with an apology and states that her joke has been misinterpreted. She writes that she wanted to address Trump’s arrogant attitude. She denounces the set-up of the chairs that she believes is unacceptable, highlighting Trump’s superior position.
Vucic called the Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov today. It is not known what the two have talked about.
