On the afternoon of the 27th local time, the referendum on the entry of the four eastern prefectures of Ukraine ( Donetsk , Lugansk , Zaporuj, Khelson ) officially ended. According to the voting results announced by the local election committee on the evening of the 27th. The voters in the four places agreed with the Russian Federation: Donetsk 99.23%, Lugansk 98.42%, Zaporoze 93.11%, and Kherson 87.05%.
In addition, according to data released by the local election committee, the turnout rate in the four regions participating in the referendum has exceeded the 50% threshold stipulated by law, and the referendum results are considered valid.
For this result, Russian Federation Security Conference Vice Chairman Medvedev said on social media: "Welcome home." However, as Russia's few ally in Europe, Serbia expressed unacceptance of the referendum results in the East of Ukraine and publicly sang an opposition. Why is this? Serbian Foreign Minister Igura Serakvic publicly stated that according to the principles of international law, Serbia will not recognize the referendum results of the eastern Ukraine joining the Russian Federation.
For this result, Serbian official explained the following. First, Serbia, as the hospital of the United Nations hospital, should undoubtedly follow the UN Charter and other international norms. For this, Serbian President Vucic has expressed Serbia's position in his speech at the 77th UN General Assembly General Debate on September 21. Vucic said Serbia supports the territorial integrity of all UN member states, including Ukraine.
Secondly, this is also the most important point. If Serbia recognizes the result of the referendum in East Ukraine, it means that Serbia will face a major problem when safeguarding its sovereignty and territorial integrity. That is, the reason why Kosovo declared "independence" in 2008 was that before the disintegration of Yugoslavia in 1991, Kosovo held a "referendum" on whether it was independent. At that time, 99.98 Kosovo people were willing to "establish a country independently."
However, Kosovo's "independence" has not been recognized by Serbia. If Serbia recognizes the results of the referendum in eastern Ukraine, it will not be in line with Serbia's national and national interests. This has also been verified in history. In 1991, the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia collapsed overnight, and various franchisees declared independence one after another. Kosovo, which is mainly Albanians, also chose to vote for independence. For this result, Yugoslavia and Serbia have not been recognized.
In 1996, Kosovo established illegal armed forces and frequently carried out military operations against Yugoslavia in an attempt to form "independence" in "facts". In 1999, the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia sent military and police to strike Kosovo, and then fierce conflict broke out between the two sides. After the conflict broke out between the two sides, many European countries came out to mediate in order to stabilize the situation in the Balkans. They proposed that Kosovo was highly autonomous and NATO NATO sent troops to defend the security of the relevant areas.
Faced with this agreement, Kosovo expressed full acceptance, but Serbia, which has full sovereignty, disagrees with 10,000. The reason given at the beginning was that Kosovo is part of Serbia, and as a sovereign state, why does Serbia rely on NATO's army to maintain order? The power behind NATO's army is self-evidently the United States. As a result, more intense conflict broke out between Serbia and Kosovo.
As a "world policeman", the United States finally couldn't sit still at this time, so it gathered its NATO brothers under the banner of "avoiding humanitarian disasters" and familiarly bypassed UN Security Council carried out a 78-day continuous bombing of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia for 78 days, causing nearly tens of thousands of innocent civilians to be killed and killed and nearly one million people lost their homeland.
In February 2008, Kosovo unilaterally declared "independence" and was recognized by the United States and most Western countries. Serbia has always adhered to its sovereignty over Kosovo.So Serbia and Vucic, who suffered from the referendum, expressed their own views on the referendum in eastern Ukraine to Russia at the 77th United Nations General Assembly: It is precisely because of Serbia's past experience and current developments that I am sure I have every right to quote the great Martin Luther King here: 'Injustice anywhere threatens justice everywhere'. These words are a reminder and a warning to all of us.
Ironically, while Western countries also do not recognize the referendum on Ukraine's eastern region entering Russia, they are still constantly putting pressure on Serbia to recognize Kosovo's referendum. This behavior made Vucic question Western countries at the scene of United Nations General Assembly : Why are Ukraine and Serbia differently?
In fact, since the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, the United States and Western countries have imposed multiple rounds of sanctions on Russia, but Serbia, also a European country, has refused to take hostile measures against Russia. On this point, Vucic also said: Serbia is under unprecedented pressure from the West. Due to its complex background, the Russian-Ukrainian conflict has its own judgment. First of all, it can be determined that the United States, as a restless factor in the world, has committed numerous crimes in the Balkans, and has not been tried yet. Now it has been manipulating the trick of NATO to expand eastward, making the unstable regional situation worse. We should recognize the faces of the United States and Western countries.
