“flamed” West after conversation with Putin, reiterates Serbia will sanction Russia

Serbia was overtaken by the Russian invasion of Ukraine, fully dependent on Russian gas.

Meanwhile, following the example of many European Union countries (BE), Serbia has also begun working on finding other gas supply sources.

However, despite calls from the EU, whose club aims to join, Serbia is refusing to impose sanctions on Russia and representatives of authorities in Belgrade continue to maintain ties with the Kremlin.

Vuciq announced in his account at the Instagram on Sunday that he had not talked to Putin for nearly two and a half years and that on October 20th they had a good, open, long and meaningful”.

“I expressed hope, like two and a half years ago, that Serbia will not impose sanctions on the Russian Federation”, Vuciq said.

He said in an Instagram video that he also talked with Putin about bilateral, economic and political issues.

Russia is Serbia's greatest support in opposing Kosovo's independence, which Pristina declared in 2008.

Meanwhile, the conversation between them took place until Russia is awaiting official answers from Serbia for Putin's invitation in September for Vuciqi to attend the BICS summit in Kazan, scheduled to be held from October 22nd to October 24th. /Radio Europe Free
