President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan held a joint press conference with Serbian President Alexander Vucic.

President Erdoğan answered journalists' questions about the visa crisis between Turkiye and the United States.

Emphasizing that Turkiye has not started the visa issue, Erdoğan said, "The perpetrator of this problem is the United States itself. It is a question that the US' senior officials, did not make any meeting, especially with our Foreign Affairs Minister. It is thought that an ambassador takes a decision like this and then use expressions, 'I did this on behalf of my state.'"

"How did these agents leak to the American Consulate?"

"How did these agents infiltrate the American Consulate? If these agents did not infiltrate the American Consulate, then who put them in? All these questions need to be focused on. No state will allow such agents to threaten themselves from the inside." (ILKHA)
