Serbia nears decision with Russia or West-Vuchicu “We have a lot of time”

Asked how I'm going to act when it comes to “hard choice” Vucciq, the small one said, is the room for maneuvering.

Let's put it back this way until we can. I'll know when it's time and I won't hide anything from people. There's no doubt about it. We're afraid we're not available for a few months. ” said Vuciq, for Belgrade TV Prva.

After those statements, Russian Ambassador to Belgrade Aleksandar Bocan-Kharchenko has spoken.

In an interview with the newspaper “Novosti” he said he understands Serbia's difficult situation, but when it comes to imposing sanctions, they appreciate it, as Vuciki's insistence and heroic behaviour.

And for the European Proposal for Agreement with Kosovo, Bocan-Kharchenko effectively stated that Serbia must distance itself from it because according to him this is a secondary path towards recognising independent Kosovo. According to the president of the Helsinki Committee in Belgrade, the Russian diplomat's statements are an open threat and that Vuciq is in major dilemmas as to how to deal with the EU proposal.

“However, Vuciq still has control over important mechanisms, armies, police and services. So he can bring about that decision which Serbia would put on the other side. Of course, we don't know what the Russians will do. This is never known, and there are different options. Targetly, he (Vuchic) is in a serious situation, but with massive support having the opportunity to perform the job positively for this country and the entire region. ”, said Sonja Biserko, chairman of the Belgrade-based KHNJ.

After all these developments, the Serbian president announced that on Tuesday morning he expects the Russian Federation's ambassador to Belgrade.
