"Zoran Zaev and his statements are undermining the relations between Belgrade and Skopje. The insults he directed at the Serbian leadership will certainly affect our bilateral relations.

Serbia does not interfere in the internal affairs of other states, being desirous of good relations with its neighbours, but the tone of the statements made by Zaev reflects the opposite on his part.

Serbia certainly won't let anyone, Zaev included, humiliate it, and its attitude to the authorities in Skopje will, in the future, be reciprocal to their attitude towards Serbia".
