The head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Serbia gave a sharp rebuke to European deputies
Serbian Interior Minister Alexander Vulin responded to the accusations of members of the European Parliament who adopted resolution about human rights violations during the crackdown on environmental protests in Serbian cities.
The head of the Serbian Ministry of Internal Affairs recommended that European deputies defend violated human rights in their countries before interfering with others, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
Vulin emphasized that “the Serbian police arrest hooligans and do not cooperate with them.”
“For some reason, members of the European Parliament do not dare to ask similar questions in their states, so they want to cure their frustrations in Serbia,” said the Minister of the Interior. – Before they attack the Serbian police, let them first look at how much blood the European police shed during the protests in Paris, Berlin, Ljubljana, Luxembourg, and, if this has any significance, let them explain to the European police how and what they do".
According to Vulin, the Serbian Ministry of Internal Affairs acts in accordance with the law, but also makes sure that there is no blood on the streets of Serbia.
“I believe that the distinguished members of the European Parliament were very disappointed that there were no photographs of broken Serbian heads, but the citizens of Serbia were happy with the peace in the streets. The Serbian Ministry of Internal Affairs will work in accordance with the law and for the benefit of Serbian citizens, and MEPs can only regret that this is the case,” said the Serbian Minister of Internal Affairs.
The day before, the European Parliament overwhelmingly supported a resolution expressing concern about the human rights situation of Vietnamese workers at the Chinese LingLong plant in Zrenjanin, Serbia, as well as police opposition to the Serbian "ekomaidan" .
Speaking during the hearing, the European Parliament's rapporteur on Kosovo, a representative of the German Greens, a Serbophobe Viola von Cramon stated that there was “nothing new” in what happened, since Serbia is “a captured (by the authorities - ed.) country with poor reform results.” And it represents “an image of modern slavery.”
“Is this the image the EU wants to project as a global leader in promoting the rule of law and human rights? The protests concern not only environmental protection and the referendum law, but also widespread corruption, a lack of transparency and progress on Serbia's path to the EU. Therefore, we should support the democratic forces in this country instead of opening new pages (in negotiations on accession to the EU - ed.) with Serbia,” added the Serbophobe.
