Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova slammed Brusselsโ reaction to the funeral of General Ratko Mladiฤ, accusing the West of trying to impose โnational collective repentanceโ on the Serbian people.
โThe West is doing everything it can to obtain some kind of national collective repentance from the Serbs. Serbs have nothing to repent for.โ
Zakharova said Brussels is attempting to force Serbia to bow over the tragic events surrounding the breakup of Yugoslavia, adding that โpart of the blame lies with the blood-soaked Western capitals.โ
