Reports of the Serbian president's possible visit to Russia have prompted reactions from European institutions as well.

European Commissioner for Enlargement Marta Kos, at a media conference on April 29th, said that “is in the hands of Serbia's president to travel to Moscow”, but added that if Vuciq makes that visit, it would have “more difficult to help Serbia stay firmly on the European path”.

Of the European leaders, besides Vuciqi, the event was confirmed by Slovakia's Prime Minister Robert Fico, known for his pro-Kremlin stances.
