The official representative the Ministry of foreign Affairs of Russia Maria Zakharova called “classic provocation” an article in the British newspaper The Guardian that the Secretary of security Council Nikolay Patrushev apologized for the “Russian nationalists” who planned the assassination of Prime Minister of Montenegro, Milo Djukanovic.
“And there is irrefutable evidence — no one from the edition not called neither in the device of security Council of Russia, the press center of the foreign Ministry with a request to confirm or deny this information”, he wrote on his page in Facebook.
Zakharova noted that this approach “completely contrary to the requirements of the staff of Western publications.”
“I appeal to The Guardian: you do not give rest laurels freshly picked and The Newsweek? And if so, declare you to be “liars day”. Cap sew yourself”, she added.
Earlier on Friday, the press service of the security Council in response to a request from TASS to comment on the publication of the British publication also said that Patrushev “to no one apologized, because”.
Sunday, November 6, chief special Prosecutor of Montenegro, Milivoj Katie said that a group of Russian nationalists suspected of preparing terrorist attacks and the attempted coup. According to him, the detainees allegedly wanted “to stop Montenegro on its path towards Euro-Atlantic countries, in particular, its accession to NATO.”
The next day the press Secretary of the President Dmitry Peskov categorically rejected the possibility of Moscow’s participation in any illegal actions in relation to Montenegro.
