Russian Ambassador to Bosnia and Herzegovina Igor Kalabukhov said that Bosnia and Herzegovina can join NATO, but Russia will attack them. And then (or even before that) he will attack Croatia, Hungary or Poland. This is reported by Evropeyskaya Pravda with reference to a frank interview with Face TV..

“If it (Bosnia and Herzegovina) decides to be a member of something (NATO - ed.. ), this is an internal matter. But another thing is our reaction. On the example of Ukraine, we showed what we expect. If there is a threat, we will react,” the Russian diplomat said..

The ambassador decided to correct himself and explain his words.

“We are not against joining NATO. This is not a threat, perhaps a warning... Decide for yourself. It's like a vicious circle, I already said... Let's assume, for example: BiH became a member of NATO, and Brussels decides to put nuclear missiles there, aimed at Moscow. We will assess the strategic situation, so I believe that the European system, not NATO, should be the way out,” he said..

Then the journalist asked the ambassador why Russia is “not bothered” by neighboring countries that are already members of NATO. In response, Kalabukhov made another scandalous statement.

“How do you know that we are not planning anything against Croatia, Hungary or Poland? We have plans against NATO. We assess the geostrategic situation, look at where the threats come from and react,” he said..
