Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Friday that Moscow sees the worsening situation in FYROM as tied to the country’s refusal to join economic sanctions against Russia and its support towards the construction of the Turkish Stream gas pipeline.
“I cannot judge with a final definition, but objectively it turns out that these events in FYROM are developing on the backdrop of the FYROManian authorities’ refusal to join in the sanction policy against Russia, as well as on the backdrop of its active support that Skopje showed in regard to the planned construction of the Turkish Stream gas pipeline, which many in Brussels and those overseas are against,” Lavrov said during a joint press conference with Serbian Foreign Minister Ivica Dacic in Belgrade.
