Daciq: We love Europe but we will never go against Russia

Serbian Foreign Minister Ivica Dacic has said that we live in a world where there are many hysteria to Russia”, but he has declared that Serbia will not join this hysteria against Russia.

Serbia belongs geographically, historically and politically to Europe, and it is logical that our interest is to become a member of the European Union. But we live in hysterical anti-Russian times in the world. When I was prime minister and foreign affairs minister, I never heard a Russian diplomat speak negatively of our desire to join the EU. Meanwhile, I heard David. McMister talking in the White House about what a bad influence Russia has on Europe. Russia cannot join these claims by seeing how international laws as regards Serbia” have been violated, Daciq writes Periscope.

The only thing Russia expects is that we don't have any anti-rus positions that we're not even interested in doing. But one of the conditions for harmonizing foreign policy is always mentioned in Russia. When spoken in this context, we are asked for a assurance that we will join the sanctions of states against Russia. I guess you know which countries are looking for this”, he said.

It's not our position to take sides. Of course, we would like to be part of the European Union but at the same time, we want to have good relations with Russia. We have good relations with the United States and the United Kingdom. We have also been united in wars and crises in the world, but during 1990 they separated from us, which later resulted in bombings against us. There was an operation called "Stuhia" in Croatia and adds an immediate declaration of independence from Kosovo. So the West should have it clear that there can be no peace in the region if we don't look for a common solution which would be acceptable to all of us, he said.

When it comes to dialogue with Kosovo and the possibility of participating in the negotiations of Russia and the United States, we have never heard of it. The US wants to participate in these” negotiations, Dacic has said. /Periscope.
