Serbian MFA: We will not impose sanctions against Russia

52
Serbia seeks to join the European Union, but will not join the anti-Russian course of Brussels and impose sanctions on Moscow. This was stated by First Deputy Prime Minister Serbian Foreign Minister Ivica Dacic in an interview with the Izvestia newspaper published on Monday.

Serbia wants the EU, but we will never go against our own national interests and never impose sanctions against friends
- he said. Dacic explained that "Serbia will remain consistent in its policy and will not join the European anti-Russian sanctions."

Serbian MFA: We will not impose sanctions against Russia


The head of the Serbian Foreign Ministry noted that pressure was being put on Belgrade so that he would join the EU course towards Russia.

How else to interpret the latest statements of the American diplomat Khoyt Yee during his recent visit to Belgrade?
- continued Dacic. -
What is this if not pressure?


Earlier, Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs Hoyt Brian Yee, in a speech at the 17 Serbian Economic Forum, stated that Serbia should make a choice between Russia and the West, and not “sit on two chairs at once” if it wants to join the EU . As an example, the American diplomat cited Croatia and Montenegro - both are members of NATO, Croatia is also part of the European Union, and Montenegro has the status of a candidate country for membership.

The controversy surrounding Serbia’s relations with Russia has intensified in recent weeks as a result of a number of statements by the Ambassador of Ukraine to Belgrade Alexander Alexandrovich, who accused Serbia of not pursuing an independent policy and is used by Moscow as a tool to destabilize the situation in the Balkans. Serbian Foreign Ministry threatened to expel the Ukrainian ambassador for anti-Serb and Russophobic statements, reports TASS

      in my opinion it's time to let them go. let them decide with whom and what, the main thing is not to sponsor them for free on the way there.

          Serbs need to be reminded and in bold letters write on all walls of government buildings the words of St. Nicholas of Serbia:

          "The debt Russia owed to the Serbian people in the 1914 year is so enormous that it cannot be repaid by eyelids or generations- wrote Bishop Nikolai in the 1932 year. - This is a duty of love, which blindfolded goes to death, saving her neighbor ...
          The Russian Tsar and the Russian people, unprepared for entering the war for the defense of Serbia, could not but know that they were going to death. But the love of Russians for their brothers did not yield to danger and was not afraid of death.
          Do we ever dare to forget that Russian Tsar with his children and millions of his brothers went to death for the truth of the Serbian people? Do we dare to remain silent before heaven and earth, that our freedom and statehood cost Russia more than we? The moral of the World War - unclear, doubtful, and disputed from different sides, reveals itself in the Russian sacrifice for the Serbs in the gospel clarity, certainty and undeniable ... "

          Will Serbia remember its duty?

          Hey. Yes, ordinary Serbs came to Donbass, but not Serbian rulers. And in Serbia itself (a country torn by the West), the questions of “to be or not to be” are decided not by simple Serbs, but by their leaders, who are sharpened on the country's membership in the EU, and this, in turn, assumes submission to EU rules and the imposition of sanctions against Russia. Serbia has virtually no choice - around the EU. Today’s statements by Ivica Dacic are worth little.

      I agree with you, but there are many on the site who are not aware of friendly relations, they believe that friendship is a resigned obedience to please someone. We have the same interests, common enemies and friends. But if we are simple observers of the situation in Serbia, then of course we will lose the Serbs, and not perish for them in anticipation of the fraternal assistance (investment) of Russia.
