“I am asking a question that I would like to ask you, the leaders of many countries: what is the difference between the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine and Serbia?

In the second case, there was a flagrant violation, and you internationally recognized this and gave legitimacy, at least some of you, ”RIA Novosti quotes Vučić during a speech at the UN General Assembly.

He noted that Belgrade "did not deserve" the NATO aggression in 1999, but this "did not prevent" the countries of the alliance from starting the bombing.

Earlier, Vučić called shameful and stupid Western accusations against Russia in connection with a special operation in Ukraine, noting that 19 NATO countries were bombing Serbia in 1999.
