"The Austrian and Hungarian press are blaming Serbia more and more for the Serajevo outrage. Their aim is transparent, viz., to destroy that high moral reputation which Serbia now enjoys in Europe, and to take the fullest advantage politically against Serbia of the act of a young and ill balanced fanatic. . . . both assassins are Austrian subjects. . . . But Serbia can on no account permit the Vienna and Hungarian press to mislead European public opinion, and lay the heavy responsibility for a crime committed by an Austrian subject at the door of the whole Serbian nation and on Serbia, who can only suffer harm from such acts and can derive no benefit whatever."
M. N. Pashitch, Prime Minister and Minister for Foreign Affairs, writing to all the Royal Serbian Legations abroad, Belgrade, June 18/July 1, 1914
