The Serbian employees working for Pakistani embassy tweeted a post along video by expressing frustration over the performance of Prime Minister Imran Khan and his cabinet.

Along with this video, Pakistan Embassy Serbia also wrote in tweet that: inflation is breaking all previous records.

Prime Minister Imran Khan, how long do you hope that we government officials will remain silent and continue to work despite not receiving three months’ salary and our children are being expelled from schools due to non-payment of fees?

Both the foreign office and Prime Minister's Focal Person for Digital Media Dr. Arslan have stated that the account was hacked. The tweet was deleted in two and a half hours.
