According to Vucic, he had "an excellent telephone conversation" with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin.

“President Putin never apologized to me for anything, and neither did Sergei Lavrov.

And because of this, both did it.

Moreover, I did not even remind and as a well-mannered person would never have mentioned it.

I think that we have good relations and this is a passing and unimportant incident for me, ”RIA Novosti quotes the Serbian leader.

Putin's spokesman Dmitry Peskov confirmed to RIA Novosti that the Russian president has apologized to his Serbian counterpart.

Earlier, a Serbian delegation led by Vucic arrived in the United States.

A photograph circulated in the media in which the Serbian president sits in a chair across from the table of US President Donald Trump.

In her Facebook, Zakharova commented on the photo, attaching a frame from the movie "Basic Instinct".

Serbia condemned the publication.

Zakharova later apologized, stressing that her post had been misinterpreted.

The Serbian Foreign Ministry stated that the situation is over.
