Serbia called for sanctions imposed on Russia, Serbian minister dismissed

Serbia's Assembly has voted for the dismissal of Economy Minister Rade Basta at Tuesday's session.

As minister in the government in Belgrade, he has supported imposing sanctions against Russia, saying Serbia is paying a heavy price for its failure.

Serbia is one of the few countries in Europe that has not imposed sanctions on Russia due to its aggression against Ukraine.

The prime minister of this country, Anna Brnabiq, in late June, submitted to parliament the request for the minister's dismissal with the coalition partners of the Socialist Party of Serbia and the United Serbia.
