“They told me:“ We have a war going on in Europe, we are participating, although we don’t say it, ”RIA Novosti quotes Vucic as saying on Radio and Television of Serbia.

He noted that Western representatives warned him that Serbia would lose a lot if it did not behave "the right way."

Earlier, Vučić could not say how much longer Serbia would be able to withstand without imposing anti-Russian sanctions, but said that the country would try to survive as long as possible.

The press secretary of the Russian leader, Dmitry Peskov, said that the Kremlin is well aware of the pressure Western countries are exerting on Serbia to join the anti-Russian sanctions.
