Russian Foreign Minister recalls the events preceding the First World War

Moscow. April 28. INTERFAX-Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, in response to suspicions of Russia's involvement in the explosions at ammunition depots in Bulgaria, called on the European Union to take care of information that the storage and trade of weapons in a number of its member states are engaged in private individuals.

"I can assume that the European Union still needs to take care of the situation in the Czech Republic and Bulgaria. The situation that is connected with the fact that some private entrepreneurs are involved in the arms trade, the storage of weapons, ammunition," Lavrov said at a press conference in Moscow.

Earlier, the media reported that the Bulgarian authorities are studying the possible involvement of six Russians in the explosions at military warehouses in Bulgaria in the period from 2011. Among other things, we are talking about checking the alleged connection between these explosions and the explosion of an ammunition depot in the Czech village of Vrbetice in 2014, as well as the connection of these explosions with the attempted poisoning of an arms dealer Emiliyan Gebrev.

"The European Union still needs to answer the questions that we have asked, which are the extent to which the European Union controls the implementation of its obligations under various documents in the field of arms trade," the minister stressed.

Lavrov also noted: "It's a good thing we haven't killed Archduke Ferdinand yet, although it seems to be coming to that."
