1. Serbian embassy’s offices in Armenia, Ghana, Iran, Indonesia, Kuwait, Nigeria, and Zimbabwe have been suddenly suspended, informed Serbia’s Foreign Ministry.

2. It may be noted that Serbia has been quite keen to become a member nation of the European Union for a decade, but it has not still been given entry. Kosovo, a region that unilaterally declared independence from Serbia a few years ago, was extended support by the USA, and other 96 countries; however, many other countries in the world, including Russia and China, had opposed it.

3. The rise in the conflict between the two countries has led to Twitter taking such action, as claimed by Twitter.

4. It is being said that Twitter’s action against Serbia exposed the status of the USA’s control over Twitter, so also, of the so-called policy of Twitter on freedom of expression.

5. Twitter accounts of 13 Serbian MPs have already been suspended in the last week.
