British MPs demand Vuciqi sanction, even cite destabilisation in Kosovo

26 British deputies have collected their signatures in the letter they sent to the foreign secretary, calling for the sanction of Serbian President Aleksandar Vuciq.

Heavyly criticising Vuciqi's participation at the May 9th parade in Moscow, MPs say Serbia has strengthened relations with Putin, reports IndexOnline.

Moreover, President Vuciq has tried to destabilise Kosovo, Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Balkan region on a broader scale, closely co-operating with Putin's Russia, which requires a distraction from its efforts to conquer Ukraine full-scale” is said among others in the letter sent.

In addition, British MPs say Vuciqi has no interest in severing ties with Russia, while actively promoting the ideology of “Greater Serbia” that, according to them, risks turning the Balkans back into bloody conflict.

“Therefore, we call on the government to change the course, starting with a series of sanctions aimed at President Vuciq, his government and associates, and using all diplomatic means needed to encourage our allies to follow suit. If we do not send a strong message to the Serbian government now, we risk strengthening the determination of the Vuciki regime and failing to prevent the worsening of a fragile security situation in the Balkans”, it is said further on paper./Periscopi/
