Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic stated in an interview today with Serbian broadcaster TV Prva, that Western demands for Serbia to support sanctions against Russia are unfair, since the country is a sovereign state, is not a member of the European Union, and has itself survived foreign aggression by NATO forces in 1999, as reported by Sputnik.
“You [the West] have not imposed sanctions on gas and oil against Russia. Don’t you like it, don’t you want to impose sanctions on it? This is logical and reasonable, yes, but you want to decide for a sovereign state, which was not accepted into the EU and with which even Article 31 of the negotiation platform wasn’t opened, what sanctions it will support,” said Vucic.
He continued, “Of course, we are getting in someone’s way, someone will always regard us as ‘little Russians,’ they lie, because we are just Serbs. They call us ‘Trojan horses,’ but those who see a mote in someone else’s eye, don’t see a beam in their own.”
