Maria Zakharova, official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, commented on the mediation of the European Union in the negotiations between Serbia and Kosovo, noting that they are “considered with geopolitical ambitions, the desire to usurp new spheres of influence around one's own borders, to re-colonize economically vulnerable states.”
In that context, the diplomat referred to the mediation efforts of the EU in the normalization of relations between Armenia and Azerbaijan, as well as the EU civilian mission located in Armenia.
“We note the absolutely politicized and opportunistic nature of the European Union's mediation in Armenian-Azerbaijani relations, where the priority is not the desire to contribute to stabilization, but the ideology and the desire to push Russia out. One of the examples is the small results of the activities of the EU mission in Armenia,” said the spokesperson of the Russian Foreign Ministry.
