On Serbia's position and pressures against it

'They don't want partners but puppets without wills of their own'

Could you give us your view on what sorts of pressures Serbia is under now? On the one hand, our country is on friendly terms with Russia; on the other, as an EU membership candidate, we are expected to align with the policies of the EU, which has imposed sanctions against Moscow.

"We are in constant dialogue with Serbia's leadership. On 6 April, heads of state Vladimir Putin and Aleksandar Vučić had a telephone conversation. We resolutely condemn the actions of the Western countries which have sunk so low as to shamelessly blackmail Belgrade and exploit its aspirations towards the EU. The demands to join the anti-Russian restrictions confirm that Brussels doesn't need equal partners, but puppets without a will of their own. We are convinced that Serbia is aware of this, and that it will still act with fundamental national interests in mind. It's impossible to even imagine that the Serbian nation, a nation of unshakeable spirit, cherishing the tradition of protecting its independence and dignity, could be satisfied with an insulting position and marginal role in Europe. President Vučić's statement of 13 July testifies to that as well."
