Britain urges Serbia to impose sanctions on Russia, Vulin harshly attacks envoy Peach

Lord Stuart Peach, Britain’s special envoy to the Western Balkans, conveyed his country’s call for Serbia to impose sanctions on Russia and investigate irregularities in the December elections. He condemned the terrorist attack in Banjska, Zvecan.

This statement did not please the pro-Russian Serbian politician Aleksandar Vulin, the former head of the Serbian secret service, who reacted nervously as soon as Russia was mentioned, whose connections and corruption were the reasons why he was blacklisted. This prompted Vulin to attack the British diplomat, writes The Geopost.

“And then they demanded that we recognize Kosovo, give up Republika Srpska and bring the convinced Serbs, who are only Serbs by chance, to power.” Today, he also wants us to impose sanctions on Russia. Mr. Peach changes his uniform, but not his temperament. Once a colonial master, always a colonial master. Only Serbia is not a colony, it will not recognize Kosovo, it will not accept the disappearance of Republika Srpska, it will not allow foreigners to appoint its government, and it will not impose sanctions against Russia. “Serbia is part of the Serbian world, not the British Commonwealth,” Vulin said.

Meanwhile, Peach reiterated that Britain supports the normalization of relations between Kosovo and Serbia.

He reiterated their condemnation of the September 24 terrorist attack against Kosovo Police in Banjska, Zvecan.

In an interview for the Croatian news agency “Hina”, Peach called it a “serious incident” and emphasized that the Kosovo authorities are cooperating fully with the investigation, which he stressed during the talks in Belgrade.

Peach added that the amount of weapons found could be destabilizing for Kosovo, which is why he appreciated the professional and coordinated approach of the Kosovo police.

“The normalization of relations between Serbia and Kosovo will benefit all citizens of both countries, but also the entire region, including Croatia, and the future of Kosovo is that of a ‘multi-ethnic republic’,” Peach said.

We recall that the day before in Kosovo, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the United Kingdom, David Cameron, who then brought to attention the Serbian aggression in northern Kosovo, where police sergeant Afrim Bunjaku was killed.

In his speech, Cameron emphasized that this event drew international attention to the consequences that a lack of intervention by the Kosovo police could have.

“This was more than just a local incident; it was a serious test of stability in the region,” he said. “Our task is to remain committed to supporting peace and security in Kosovo and across the Western Balkans,” he said.
