The first deputy chairman of the State Duma Committee on International Affairs Alexei Chepa said that Russia and Serbia “could reunite after the referendum.”
According to him, plebiscite is necessary so that “then no one says that it is occupation, capture and overthrow.”
As the Russian deputy stated, the will of the people is necessary so that later no one could say that there were “occupation, capture and overthrow”, since there will be a large number of opponents of this idea, so you need to “do everything clearly.”
