Vucic explained why he would never impose sanctions against the Russian Federation

14
Serbs value friendship with Russia, so Belgrade will not join the EU’s anti-Russian sanctions, reports RIA News Statement by the President of the Republic Alexander Vucic.





I constantly declare that we will never join the sanctions of the European Union against the Russian Federation,
Vucic said in an interview with the German Rheinische Post.

He also spoke about his attitude to the Russian leader Vladimir Putin.

I know him very well and have great respect for him. And I know that Serbia can rely on it. Three times I urgently needed his help, and three times I was immediately able to contact him by phone,
said the president.

In addition, he noted that he had never heard any objections from Vladimir Putin about the country's desire to join the European Union.

Vucic added that Serbia’s NATO membership would be a problem for Moscow, “but there’s no such outcome, since Belgrade prefers to remain neutral.”

      Vučić adds that Serbia’s membership in NATO would be a problem for Moscow

      Maybe on the contrary, their people loyal to Russia should be in NATO and the EU?

        Serbs are the only allies who have never betrayed Russia. But even they have “chiefs” who want to sit on two chairs.

          Usually, the more often they say “never” in politics, the higher the likelihood of the event that they said “never”. Politics is dirt, so deep that anyone who is crystal clear, engaging in politics, will be head over heels in this dirt.

          There are nations that have a notion of honor and pride ... cherishing friendship with real friends. Yes And there are our "Sumerians," ready for lace shorts, lie under any pan and sell our own mother ... negative

        Yeah, it’s something like “among the executioners who come to execute you there must be loyal people”

        In their position (geo-political), refusing to join NATO and not joining the sanctions against Russia already borders on the demarche of transcendental borzoi for the United States and mattresses.

    When I’m in Serbia and talking with locals, the old generation still speaks Russian little by little, Putin is very respected, the young generation (25-35 years old) certainly doesn’t speak Russian, but the languages ​​are a bit similar when they hear Russian, this is not a fake smile on the face and; "Rus ?, Rus ??, Bracha !, Volim!"

    Three times urgently I needed his help
    Interesting in what cases? Probably for praise, to enlist the support of the people. Serbian politicians after Milosevic, unlike the people, proved themselves not from the best side.
