Russian President Vladimir Putin has invited Serbian President Aleksandar Vuciq to visit Moscow on May 25th of next year, when the 80th anniversary of the World War II victory will be marked, Serbia's Radiovision (RTS) broadcast.
I invite you to attend the celebrations for the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Patriotic Great War, to be held in Moscow in May 2025x1>, Putin was quoted as saying.
The cabinet of the president of Serbia has neither confirmed nor denied this information, when asked by Radio Free Europe for confirmation.
Among other things, Putin is said to have mentioned at the invitation that he is convinced that preserving “of the memory of the big victory will strengthen the joint commitment” to increase the constructive “co-operation, in order to ensure peace and security on planet”.
Putin had also invited Vucinqiqi to the BICS summit, held in October in the Russian town of Kazan.
However, Vucic has not responded to the invitation, saying Serbia would be the host of several important guests in that period.
In those days, Serbia has hosted European Commission President Ursula von der Leye, as well as leaders of EU states among them, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk and Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis.
A delegation of the Government of Serbia had participated in the BICS summit, which is seen as Russia's attempt to create a counterweight against Western influence in the world.
Serbia's Deputy Prime Minister, Aleksandar Vullin, had attended the summit and later met Putin.
Volin is under US sanctions, among other things, for close ties with Russia.
The EU had reacted after this meeting, saying that all states that have candidate status for the European bloc should refrain from contact with Russia and its president”.
Although Serbia enjoys that status, it is the only one in the Western Balkans who has not joined Western sanctions to condemn Russia for the war launched in Ukraine, and continues to cultivate ties with officials in Moscow.
