Russia’s outspoken Foreign Ministry spokeswoman apologised after she drew a rare public rebuke from Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic for mocking him in a social media post when he signed a US-brokered deal with Kosovo.
“I apologise but my post was misinterpreted,†Maria Zakharova wrote on her Facebook page.
She had intended to attack US claims of “exceptionalism†and not insult the Serbian leader,
she said. Zakharova, who was promoted to the rank of ambassador, has a reputation for blunt commentary and maintains an active social media presence as Russia’s foreign-policy spokeswoman.
