Serwer: The idea that Belgrade could be persuaded to embrace West is in vain

Daniel Serwer, a prominent American professor, has commented on relations between the West and Serbia.

In his analysis, Serwer has been very direct.

The American professor estimated that the idea of Belgrade being persuaded to embrace the West is in vain.

Serbia has been listed militarily and politically with Russia and China since Vucic became president, despite the recent purchase of French combat aircraft Rafale. Belgrade has also taken repeated efforts to destabilise Kosovo's north and undermine Montenegro's independence, as well as Bosnia's territorial integrity. The idea that Belgrade may be persuaded to embrace the West is in vain. Vucic will receive EU money and American political pressure on his environmental opponents, but none will give him up his love for autocrats with the same irredentist ambition” He wrote, among other things.
