Western countries have failed to explain their hypocrisy over Ukraine and Serbia’s territorial integrity, given that they support Kiev in its fight against Russia, but endorsed Kosovo’s independence, President Aleksandar Vucic said on Tuesday.
“What is the difference between the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine and the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Serbia, which was grossly violated?” Vucic asked, referring to the 1999 NATO bombing of Yugoslavia.
According to Vucic, Serbia “has never [set] foot” on anybody’s territory, but this “did not prevent the 19 richest NATO countries from attacking a sovereign country without a decision by the UN Security Council.”
NATO occupied Kosovo in 1999, after a 78-day bombing campaign against what was then Yugoslavia, before declaring independence in 2008 with Western support. While the US and most of its allies recognize, many other countries, including Russia and China, do not.
