Serbia's President, We Refused To 'Welcome Hitler's Soldiers with Flowers'

After refusing to submit to overt pressure and threats from the Brussels officialdom and surviving a grueling trip to Moscow for the 80th anniversary celebration of the defeat of the Nazis in World War II, Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic addressed his countrymen via an interview in Moscow with Serbian Radio Television RTS. He stated: “I am proud to be the President of Serbia, a nation that has the right to be proud, because it did not welcome Hitler’s soldiers with flowers.” He explained that tens of millions of people suffered in order for us to live today, and that no one has the right to revise history. “I promised Putin I would come. I didn’t hide it from anyone.”
