The statement by Vulin, who is attending the 90th session of the Interpol General Assembly in India, was published by the press service of the Serbian Interior Ministry. The incumbent described as false and hypocritical the threats of the European Union to sanction us with visas and visas liberalization cancell.

If the EU’s problem is that about 500 citizens of Burundi, who sought asylum, passed through Serbia, then there is probably an even bigger problem: several million people who came from Syria or Afghanistan, the Serbian minister said.

According to Vulin, it was not his country that started the war in Syria, or occupied Afghanistan for 20 years, nor the one that begun the ‘Arab Spring’ in Tunisia, where migrants also come from.

If it is so necessary for the European Union to punish Serbia for not imposing sanctions against Russia, for not recognizing Kosovo and for refusing to leave the Republika of Srpska, let them at least find a truthful reason and not be hypocritical and misleading, the minister emphasized.
