Serbia: We will not support a coup in Russia

The President of Serbia rejected the coup attempt in Russia.Serbia, as a serious state, does not support the attempted rebellion of the Wagner group in Russia, just as it did not support the coup in Turkey and in any other state, Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic said on TV Pink.

"The Republic of Serbia, as a serious state, will never support a putsch in any state, which means a coup by military means, by armed means using the army ... We did not support in Turkey, Russia, we would not support it either in America or in any other country "Vucic said.

He noted that he himself and official Belgrade did not rush to comment and pointed to the haste and thoughtlessness of support for the actions of Yevgeny Prigozhin by Kyiv and some foreign politicians.On the night of June 24, in Rostov-on-Don, the Wagner PMC captured the headquarters of the Southern Military District. This happened against the backdrop of statements by Yevgeny Prigozhin about allegedly inflicted by the Russian Armed Forces missile and bomb attacks on PMC camps - this was refuted by both the Ministry of Defense and the FSB.

Russian President Vladimir Putin called the actions of the "Wagnerites" a criminal adventure, a criminal case was opened against Prigozhin for organizing an armed rebellion.Later, the press service of the President of Belarus reported that Alexander Lukashenko held talks with Prigozhin and he accepted his proposal to stop the Wagner movement in Russia and take further steps to de-escalate.

Press Secretary of the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Peskov said on Saturday evening that the head of the PMC "will leave for Belarus", and the criminal case will be dropped. The Kremlin said that the guarantee that Prigozhin will be able to leave for Belarus is the word of the President of Russia.
