Saopštenje visoke predstavnice EU

„It is with indignation and deep sadness that I have learnt the news about the brutal murder of Boris Nemtsov, the former Deputy Prime Minister of Russian Federation, former Governor of Nizhny Novgorod and one of the leaders of Russia’s liberal opposition. He was killed just before a demonstration against the effects of the economic crisis and the conflict in Ukraine which he was organising for 1 March.

Boris Nemtsov was a strong advocate for modern, prosperous and democratic Russian Federation, open to the world. Our thoughts are with his family and friends and the Russian people. The EU expects the Russian authorities to conduct a full, rapid and transparent investigation into this assassination, bringing the culprits swiftly to justice.“

„Sa gorčinom i dubokom tugom sam primila vest o brutalnom ubistvu Borisa Nemcova, bivšeg potpredsednika vlade Ruske Federacije, nekadašnjeg gradonačelnika Nižnjeg Novgoroda i jednog od lidera ruske liberalne opozicije. Ubijen je neposredno pre protesta zbog posledica ekonomske krize i sukoba u Ukrajini koje je organizovao za 1. mart.

Boris Nemcov je bio veliki zagovornik savremene, napredne i demokratske Ruske Federacije koja je otvorena za svet. U mislima smo sa njegovom porodicom i prijateljima kao i narodom Rusije. EU od ruskih vlasti očekuje da sprovedu opsežnu, brzu i transparentnu istragu o ubistvu koja će počinioce brzo privesti pravdi.“
