Provocative statements of a US diplomat

Comment by the Information and Press Department on provocative statements of a US diplomat


  
Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Hoyt Brian Yee made a number of provocative statements aimed at undermining Russian-Serbian cooperation during his trip to Belgrade on October 23-24. The US diplomat crudely demanded that Belgrade reconsider its cooperation with Russia and focus exclusively on rapprochement with the European Union. He also objected with unfittingly emotional phrases to granting immunities and privileges for the Russian-Serbian Humanitarian Centre (RSHC) in Nis.
We would like to recall that the United States is not an EU member, and this is probably why it is unaware that many EU countries are involved in large-scale, mutually beneficial and productive cooperation with Russia. Nobody should prevent Serbia from having the same approach on the basis of its national interests.
 As for the RSHC, the Americans are feigning ignorance of the assistance that it has been giving to Serbia and other European countries, including EU and NATO members, in overcoming the consequences of natural and man-made disasters. Its experts are also removing mines from Serbian territory. They have already removed thousands of explosive objects that were left in Serbia after the NATO bombing in 1999. During this bombing, ammunition with depleted uranium was used on a massive scale.
We are urging our American colleagues not to impose on others hostile ideological stereotypes that undermine the foundations of international stability and cooperation in the Balkans and Europe in general.

Russia: Putin holds Security Council meeting as delegation returns from Pyongyang

Russia: Putin holds Security Council meeting as delegation returns from Pyongyang Russian President Vladimir Putin held a meeting of the Russian Security Council in moscow, Friday, after a Russian delegation visited Pyongyang for talks with the North Korean leadership. According to the Russian delegation members, the North Koreans "are ready to talk" on the condition that the international community recognises them as a nuclear power. According to Vitaly Pashin, a member of the Russian delegation, Pyongyang is open to negotiations with Washington "under parity terms" with Russia’s participation as a third party. On Wednesday, North Korea announced the launch of a new type of intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) which could "target the entire area of mainland United States." The launch was the first since September 15, when North Korea fired a ballistic missile over the Japanese island Hokkaido, which eventually fell into the Pacific Ocean.

Several US media outlets to be banned from State Duma events - Zakharova Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova stated that up to ten US media outlets will be banned from visiting the lower house of Russian parliament, speaking in a meeting of the State Duma's Standing Committee on Rules in Moscow on Monday. "I would like to emphasise we in no case deprive those US media representatives of the accreditation to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. They are able to freely continue working as journalists in the Russian Federation," Zakharova noted. Zakharova's statement comes shortly after the US Congress withdrew RT America's accreditation on Capitol Hill. The spokesperson confirmed that Moscow's retaliatory measure would only apply to "those media which are funded by US Department of State and BBG." However, she refrained from naming the media organisations, saying instead, ''Let it be a surprise."
