"It is obvious that the current series of protests in Belgrade under the symbol of a yellow duck, where representatives of the U.S. State Department took part as 'observers,' - along with the protests in Banja Luka and Macedonia - have unambiguous characteristics of operations carried out by external forces in order to destabilize the situation in the Balkans," he stressed.
A large rubber duck is the symbol of the protests held in Belgrade over the demolition in Savamala - four have been held so far, attracting thousands of citizens.
United Russia, Russia's ruling party, earlier this week signed a political declaration with the DSS and the Dveri Movement, while Zheleznyak later held consultations with representatives of these parties.
The Russia Beyond the Headlines website in Serbian reported that they discussed "the danger of spreading 'orange technologies,' the so-called 'non-violent regime changes' in the former Yugoslavia, whose aim is to destabilize the socio-political situation in Serbia, the Serb Republic and Macedonia."
As the Russian politician said, United Russia expresses its resolute protest over such methods that involve violent scenarios of events.
"Our country and our party have extensive experience in successfully fighting similar attempts to interfere in our internal affairs. In 2012 in Russia a series of laws was adopted which stipulates a special regime of separation of the activities of those NGOs engaged in political activities, for money they received from abroad," he said.
According to Zheleznyak, "a consolidation of all healthy social forces is urgently needed, on the basis of ideas and values that unite the nation and distance it from the attempts to impose unacceptable outside solutions."
"Serbia is justifiably proud of its past and its historical values. St. Vitus' Day (Vidovdan) is a holiday which has a special significance in Serbian history. Serbian knights led by Holy Tsar Lazar of Kosovo died heroically in Kosovo Polje in 1389 in order to create a heavenly Serbia, which has for six centuries been the symbol of Serbian spiritual strength and courage. I congratulate all our Orthodox brethren in Serbia, Montenegro, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Macedonia, and everywhere where this spiritual feast is marked, the most important one for the Serbian people," said the Russian official.
Pardon me, but how does this guy known that Tsar Lazar died heroically? Keep the masses believing in myths is that the idea?

Trouble is that Russia sees anyone speaking out against authority as subversive and a threat.The people of Belgrade are simply making their voices heard against dodgy deals, illegal demolitions and plans to change the face of their city being forced through by big business!

"Our country and our party have extensive experience in successfully fighting similar attempts to interfere in our internal affairs.
I guess that says it all, and even the dumbest people should see that fascist Putin-Russia is a repressive dictatorship which is only intrested in supressing it's own citizens and preserve it's own power over the masses. Despicable!!!!!!

One does not need to have a doctorate in political science to understand what is going on in the Balkans! for over a quarter of a century now fragmentation of the Balkans and the root cause is the USA backed by Germany and it's Roman Catholic Empire dream! Jugoslavia was big and very difficult to control so how best to defeat, only to fragment into small pieces! What is the big plan for Germany in the Balkans? What is the big plan for the USA for all Eastern Orthodox Christianity in the Balkans? There is a lot of huffing and puffing comming from Croatia, Albania, Romania, Hungary and Bulgaria with the anticipation of the Hilly Billy Clintons controling the White House again. How much smaller will Serbia become under the Clinton leadership of the USA for the next eight years???

Russia making its position clear. If you choose the Russia path, we will let you smash any buildings you want and ignore the law.
Remember the Russian rules. If you choose a pro-Russian position then it is an "internal country affair" and Russia would never interfere in internal country affairs.
If you disagree with the Russian position you are a RUSSIAPHOBE and must be under the influence of foreign agents.
According to Russia, anti-government and anti-corruption protesters are destabalizing.
If Vucic had the police beat and arrest people at the protests it would be an "internal Serbian affair".
According to Russia, anti-government and anti-NATO protesters are legitimate protests
If Đukanović had the police beat and arrest some anti-NATO protesters in Montenegro it will be becasue he is a RUSSIAPHOBE and a FASCIST and under the influence of foreign agents.

Why is Russia meddling in the internal affairs, not to mention the will of the people, of a sovereign nation? Are all protests viewed by Russian politicians as "from outside forces"? Don't citizens have the right to protest criminal acts committed by their government (Savamala)?

@Nikolle
Ignorance can only be pardoned once, thus in this instance consider yourself pardoned. Educate yourself (if only in the slightest way) and you will no longer need require to be pardoned. Otherwise your stupidity will continue to shine.

What independent countries do you know in Europe? Other than Russia I mean. So do I. Then what independent nations are you talking about. Please stop it and talk about something realistic. One more thing. Do you remember the Russophobe comments here several years ago when none of you took Russia serious. Now the west is not taken serious outside the golden billion. Such is the life …

You may piss up and shout that you’re a fireman but it will change nothing. We won’t leave you neither Montenegro nor Serbia. Sooner or later their historical memory will take the upper hand. No matter if you still have carrots for them by that time or not.
