EU official: Serbia must impose sanctions against Russia if it hopes to join the EU

The Serbian authorities are obliged to impose sanctions against the Russian Federation if they count on the country's entry into the European Union. This was stated during a press conference in Belgrade by the European Commissioner for Enlargement and Neighborhood Policy Oliver Vargeyi.

The official of the European Commission stressed that Serbia needs to carry out reforms in a number of areas of state activity. Belgrade also has to resolve a number of issues with politics in the media space. But the key issue for joining the EU remains Serbia's position on the situation in Ukraine.

According to Vargain, the most important role is played by coordination with the foreign policy of the European Union. Previously, this issue could have been given less attention, but not now, when the EU is so puzzled by issues of support for Ukraine. Serbia, as an EU candidate country, should help Brussels in a common line of conduct regarding the Ukrainian conflict and sanctions against Russia, Vargelyi believes.

Thus, we see that the leadership of the European Union is trying with all its might to "push" the Serbian government to a complete transition to the side of Brussels. Serbia - historical a friend of Russia, the attitude of the Serbs towards the Russians is warm, and if Belgrade decides to take such an unpopular step, then the political future of the current president Aleksandar Vučić in his country will be in question. He seems to understand this very well. Therefore, he is trying to "sit on two chairs", not wanting to either openly take the side of Russia, or join the pan-European sanctions.

Recall that earlier Vučić himself had repeatedly said that Brussels demanded the introduction of anti-Russian sanctions. At the same time, the Serbian president noted that Serbia does not do this, since it does not have such interests.

So the hour of H has come for Vucic and Co. Let's see.

[Evil 55]

Oliver VarGEYi-it is dangerous to listen to such a thing .. He will ask for something else.

[Murmur 55]

Evil 55 , MANDATORY "ask" , Wait, as soon as Vucic imposes sanctions (and I'm sure of it), Serbia will begin to be broken on other issues, from territory to tolerance.

Will definitely ask. You just have to start agreeing.
And there a claw got stuck ....

[Sergio_7]

It remains to be hoped that the gay union will be closed soon!)

[Mouse]

You do not hope, but think about how to cover it. If you are so hesitant to play the war in Novorossia, then the hour is uneven, the Americans will attach tactical nuclear charges to this Jew, and believe me, they are bold, and then it will not seem a little accurate. You doubt. Learn the tactics of conducting special operations from the enemy. The enemy is the best teacher.

Milosevic was handed over and we will be handed over without hesitation

And the point is, the smart ones are already leaving the EU, others are waiting for something)

... to freeze like all of Europe. Good wish. The word "European Union" in the world is already becoming a household word, like the word "drug addict".

[Lech from Android.]

The devil in the person of the European Union offered Vučić a deal... to sell Russia and join the ranks of his fans.
Let's see what the leader of Serbia chooses ... whether he will cross this Rubicon.

[Murmur 55]

Lyokha from Android , he has already chosen, now the aria of the poor and proud ruler will begin, they say Russia is our friend, but we have "our" path to the "bright" E.S.

[Valery Bordukov]

Brothers are forced to be friends against the Russian Federation. Where should they go? This is Orban with the Vatican Pope stirs up. Vučić is as poor as a church mouse. It's only the beginning.

[ASM]

I don’t understand at all who the EU officials are? These are some incomprehensible sapiens, which no one chose in the EU countries, but who pretend to be the arbiters of fate. These are the appointees, I don't understand why the peoples of the EU states tolerate this?

[Metallurg_2]

And what is the interest for Serbia in the EU?
Or are there also divorced lovers of lace panties?

[evgen1221]

And who will feed them in evpopah? We or the Chinese are so against the regional committee.

[Lucky_Rusyn]

I rather we in Serbia become part of ODKB than seek for pointless EU membership which is itself NATO/US puppet tool and doesn't bring anything good. Serbia will have more usage of being ODKB member. While i do disagree with some aspects of President Vucic regarding EU membership, i still think he is one of rare leaders of Europe, along with Viktor Orban, that think with their own mind rather of being blind servant of Western imperialist (and actually pointless) politics.

[VORON538]

Western Democracy. The country is under pressure, but this, of course, is different (according to their concepts)

[evgen1221]

Well, that's right, in countries declaring and yelling for freedom of speech and freedom in general, in principle, there should be no other opinion than the regional committee's descent from behind a puddle, otherwise it is a dictatorship. Lord, they already generally understand what they are carrying and how it relates to their type of defended values.

Serbia will not allow it to be turned into a tool to circumvent European Union sanctions against Russia, President Aleksandar Vucic said at a joint press conference with EU Commissioner for Enlargement and Neighborhood Policy Oliver Varhelyi.

how cute

[Plate]

What, there are not enough tools to circumvent sanctions or what? Let's find others! Fortunately, this is the thing that is lying on the road, you just need to look under your feet.

[Mint Gingerbread]

The funny thing is that the EU is no longer interesting to the countries of the planet as a major player. All eyes are on China, Russia, India, UAE, etc., this is a safer and more profitable option. Serbia will change course only with forceful intervention or undermining from within, because they understand where the benefits will be in the future. Obviously not in the EU.

[Mouse]

Even funnier is that not so long ago Serbia was bludgeoned with nuclear bombs. And they are so sweetly silent and smiling slyly. Yes? And they are jumping, being afraid to use them on the land to which they made demands. They're probably wearing diapers. And they are still learning how adult uncles Americans know how to fight all over the earth.

[aporierti]

My childhood friend has been living in Serbia for 10 years already. I once asked him about the Serbs and Russia, he answered something like this: the older generation fills and appreciates Russia, while the younger generation is entirely pro-European and generally pro-Western. He said that the entire school curriculum in Serbia is under the control of European funds and NGOs, so schoolchildren from childhood are brainwashed no worse than schoolchildren in the Baltics. So there is only one conclusion: very soon those very young Serbs oriented towards the European Union will come to power in Serbia and Serbia in its policy towards Russia will turn into a kind of present-day Bulgaria.

EU official: Serbia must impose sanctions against Russia if it hopes to join the EU

Nicely. That is, he stated in plain text: "... Because in the EU there is no freedom of opinion, no independence of state policy and no state sovereignty!"

[Fangaro]

If any country wants to become part of the EU, this country must accept all the requirements of the EU, prescribed in the EU membership regulations.
So the regulation states in advance that "to be baptized with three fingers is Satanism, and the worship of the forces of light depicted on banknotes issued by the Central Bank of the EU countries and the US Federal Reserve is a manifestation of faith"?

[Mouse]

Serbia is a historical friend of Russia, the attitude of Serbs towards Russians is warm,

Warm. Why should we throw dust in our eyes? They defeated Yugoslavia and Serbia, no one helped.
About 31 thousand cluster munitions with uranium-238 were first used by NATO 20 years ago during the massive bombing of military facilities in southern Serbia, RIA Novosti, 21.03.2019/21.03.2019/31. ... "Prerequisites for a disaster": how NATO bombed Yugoslavia with radioactive bombs - RIA Novosti, 238/20/XNUMX. "Prerequisites for a catastrophe": how NATO bombed Yugoslavia with radioactive bombs. Some XNUMX uranium-XNUMX cluster munitions were used for the first time by NATO XNUMX years ago during massive bombing of military targets in southern Serbia.
And now? Tactical nuclear weapons could be used immediately and managed by professional military forces. It seems that drunken (partially) people are sitting at the headquarters.

[Archemor]

Bound with one chain.
If you want to join the EU, spit on the interests of the country, give up sovereignty, admit that we are right, and shut up.
But you will get an exclusive opportunity to see how your president flies to the USA to beg the politicians there not to take away the industry of your country. Ask the French, they will confirm.
