According to Vucic, Serbia wants to join the European Union, “preserve the best relations” with Russia. He also added that Belgrade intends to improve relations with Beijing.

“We will never impose sanctions against Russia, no matter how hard they pressure us, because Russia did not impose sanctions on us,” TASS quoted him as saying.

Vucic stressed that Serbia wants to be a military neutral country - “to defend its heaven and earth on its own” and also “not to join any military blocs”.

Earlier, Vucic predicted serious pressure on Serbia on the Kosovo issue.
