Vucic: Baseless accusations against Serbia irresponsible and concerning

President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vucic, stated that Serbia unequivocally denies any involvement in the recent attack on the Ibar-Lepenac canal, emphasizing that the baseless accusations leveled against Serbia, made hastily and without any evidence, are deeply irresponsible and concerning.

Vucic shared via Instagram that such unfounded claims aim to tarnish Serbia’s reputation and undermine efforts to promote peace and stability in the region.

"When accusations are made so quickly and without foundation, it raises legitimate questions about the motives behind these statements. Are those who hastily point fingers without proof attempting to deflect attention from their own knowledge of or potential involvement in the incident?" Vucic asked.

Serbia, he stressed, firmly calls for a thorough, impartial, and transparent investigation into this "act of sabotage."

"We urge international partners to assist in uncovering the truth and ensuring those responsible are held accountable," Vucic stated.

In addition to supporting investigative efforts, Serbia stands ready to provide technical, financial, and logistical assistance to mitigate the consequences of this attack, he added.

"Our offer includes expertise in repairing the canal, financial support for restoration, and supplementary electricity supply to affected areas to ensure the livelihoods of citizens are not jeopardized," Vucic concluded.
