Vuciqi apologises after Serbia voted for European Resolution on Ukraine

The UN General Assembly has adopted a resolution Monday confirming its support for Ukraine and territorial integrity. There were two versions at the Assembly One of America and one prepared by Ukraine and European allies. Serbia has abstained during the first resolution vote and supported the second. And after the vote, Serbia's president, Aleksandar Vuciq, has apologised.

Vuciqi has said Monday evening that he believes Serbia was wrong when it voted for the European resolution in the UN, saying it had to abstain.

I think Serbia has made a mistake. I apologize to the citizens and take responsibility, because I think I'm tired and loaded, and I can't do anything”, he said about television “

Vuciqi has added, saying Serbia abstained from the American proposal and “voted properly”. According to him, abstention should also be for the European resolution.

And as you can see, I'm saying at a moment when it's clear that it will lose political points in the European Union because of this. And I believe Serbia had to hold back. I blame myself, I didn't do enough of that”, Vuciki said.

He has said that Serbia “has faced the most difficult possible situation” in the three-year war years in Ukraine, following the failure of sanctions against Russia, adding that Serbia's “stance does not collapse by either one, two or three resolution”.

On Monday, the UN General Assembly adopted the resolution reconfirming support for Ukraine and its territorial integrity on the anniversary of the launch of the Russian occupation.

The US failed to persuade the UN Assembly to adopt its own resolution calling for the end of the war, not to mention Russian aggression or the territorial integrity of the attacked state.

The resolution proposed by Ukraine and its European allies received 93 votes, 18 against (between the US and Russia) and 65 abstentions.
