Lavrov's reaction: Unprecedented and to be precise, as far as Serbia is concerned...

At an extraordinary press conference convened instead of traveling to Belgrade, Lavrov said that this was a policy of double standards. "They will say that the EU and NATO told them that, and NATO and the EU will say that those countries decide for themselves," Lavrov said.
"It should be clear to you, no one, I repeat, no one will destroy our relations with Serbia," Lavrov said, adding that he invited Minister of Foreign Affairs of Serbia to visit Moscow.
"Something unthinkable has happened. This is a disturbing action. It has been taken away from the sovereign state to enforce the rights it has. It is a demonstration of how far NATO and the EU can go in using the harshest means and influence against those guided by national interests and not ready to sacrifice their dignity for the sake of these rules imposed by the West. The visit of the Minister of Russia to the West is perceived as a large-scale threat", Lavrov said at an extraordinary press conference in Moscow.
By doing so, the West is making it clear to Russia that it will continue to put pressure on Moscow, without resorting to any means, Lavrov said, adding that he was not surprised by the West's cynicism. "We have seen similar hypocrisy before, including during the bombing of Yugoslavia," Lavrov said.
He said that the reasons for postponing the visit to Belgrade were analyzed by the media in Serbia and the region, i.e. Croatia, and one was that "Lavrov is persona non grata and that Lavrov should have overtaken Scholz, who is also coming to Belgrade. I leave that to the conscience of those analysts because it is humiliating".
According to him, the talks in Serbia were supposed to be of a wider spectrum, and there was also talk of the so-called Kosovo and Bosnia-Herzegovina. ...
