"Anti-Russian hysteria in West; Serbia under huge pressure" (Tanjug, Beta, B92)

No decision has as yet been made on diplomatic immunity for the Russian-Serbian Humanitarian Center (RSHC) in Serbia's southern town of Nis.

Serbian First Deputy PM and Foreign Minister Ivica Dacic said this in Moscow on Friday, and added that Serbia was under huge pressure over the issue but that it would decide in line with its own interests, Tanjug reported.

"Evidently there is big anti-Russian hysteria in Western countries and everything is interpreted as having to do with a big Russian influence in our region. They (the West) think the influence is harmful", he told reporters.

TASS cited the report to say that Dacic stated the U.S. "calls the idea of granting an official status to the center an 'anti-American act'."

"We experience huge pressure from the West regarding these two issues (the center’s existence, and status), thus we have to face this question very seriously. American announces openly it would be translated as an anti-American act. However, my position is this issue must be settled either way, we should either work on this or close the center," he said.
