“Today, as a country, we are in one of the most difficult historical situations, we do not know what night brings and what tomorrow brings. But we know very well that our policy must be a policy of peace, stability, we have never asked for anything but to be on our own. We will have enough wisdom and courage to defend what is ours”, Vucic said.

He added that it is up to the citizens of Serbia to believe in themselves, to be wise, smart and that we should not be ashamed to say that we will be stronger. “Not that we would attack someone, but that it would never occur to anyone to attack this country again. We have something to protect and guard,” he said.

Vučić will also lay a wreath at the monument to the fallen fighters of the 125th Motorized Brigade, the president’s office for the cooperation with the media announced.

A member of the Ministry of the Interior, Lieutenant Colonel Veljko Radenović, was posthumously decorated this year on the occasion of the Statehood Day. As the Ministry of the Interior stated on that occasion, he is one of the greatest heroes of the Serbian police in the conflicts in Kosovo and Metohija.

During the conflict in Kosovo and Metohija and the NATO aggression on FR Yugoslavia in 1999, the 125th Motorized Brigade was part of the Pristina Corps, and 94 of its members were killed during the conflict.

Serbia only wants the victims of the NATO aggression in 1999 to be remembered and the crimes not to be forgotten, said President Aleksandar Vučić today on the occasion of the anniversary of the NATO aggression on our country and told everyone who took part that they should be silent instead of proud, that they should be ashamed.

“They can’t convince us, I’ve seen some of them today triumphantly talking about their successes from 1999. My message to them is that it’s better to keep quiet. I’m talking about foreigners who took part in that terrible aggression against our country and to be a little ashamed and to find a place to pray to God for all those wonderful people and numerous children they killed here”, Vucic said.

In a statement for Pink, he said that he referred to Wesley Clark and many others.

Everything to be said re: Madeleine Albright was compiled briefly by Maria Zakharova

Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova commented on the death of Madeleine Albright, who passed away on Wednesday, on her Telegram account.

Albright, who was the first woman in the position of the U.S. Secretary of State and who is considered the ideologue of the NATO aggression on the FRY, died at the age of 84 from cancer.

“Madeleine Albright, U.S. Secretary of State, the ideologist of the bombing of Belgrade, died yesterday, on the eve of the anniversary of her Balkan achievements,” Zakharova wrote on Telegram.

She wrote that Albright’s legacy was not just the bombing of Serbs, and reminded of the monstrous statement of the former U.S. Secretary of State about Iraqi children who died due to sanctions.

On CBS’s 60 Minutes show on May 12, 1996, journalist and host of the show, Leslie Stahl, raised the topic of sanctions against Iraq. “We have heard that more than half a million children have died from the sanctions against Iraq. More than in Hiroshima. And do you think it’s justified?“, the journalist had asked Albright. “I think it’s a very difficult choice. But we think it’s justified,” Albright said.

Zakharova ironically asked if the former secretary of state fell under any sanctions after that.

“Of course not. Only a monument to her was erected in Kosovo for the murders of Serbs. The opening ceremony was attended by Kosovo President Hashim Thaci. Former field commander of the Kosovo Liberation Army, which traded in the organs of killed Serbs,” Zakharova said.

In the end, Zakharova wrote: “To understand who we are opposing in this world”.
