A UK Parliament delegation distanced itself from claims by Foreign Affairs Select Committee chair Alicia Kearns MP that the Serbian Orthodox Church (SPC) was involved in arms smuggling, a Serbian Parliament press release said on Monday.
It said that the delegation, made up of Chair of the All-Party Parliamentary Group for Serbia Jackie Doyle-Price, Group co-chair Lord Rennard and right honourable Matthew Offord, Tan Dhesi and Ben David, met with Serbian Parliament Speaker Vladimir Orlic to discuss bilateral relations and parliamentary cooperation.
“Orlic spoke of the sharp reactions and justified indignation of the public in Serbia to the serious accusations leveled by Alicia Kearns against the SPC,” the press release said. “It is important that there are no such flagrant examples of irresponsibility and that, when they occur, they receive a clear condemnation,” it quoted him as saying.
“The members of the UK Parliament said that Alicia Kearns’ statement reflects only her personal position and is in no way the official position of the UK Parliament or the UK Government,” it said and added that the British MPs are following events in the region.
