“We were deeply shocked by the tragic news of the horrible explosion at the metro station in Saint Petersburg, the killed and numerous injured. On the behalf of the National Assembly of the Republic of Serbia and myself, please allow me to extend our most sincere condolences to you and the people of the Russian Federation.

Events like this are an awful reminder of the need for solidarity and decisiveness in facing the evil of extremism and terrorism that indiscriminately threatens the civilizational values of peace and the right to live without fear.
