“What do you not understand? What is not clear to you? We are more than clear when it comes to the conflict in Ukraine. We respect the territorial integrity of Ukraine, but we will not impose sanctions against the Russian Federation, which is not clear?” the minister asked. He continued: “Do we want to be part of the conflict between the West and Russia? Do we want to forget all those decades when Russia supported us? Do we want to forget all these centuries of Slavic brotherhood?”

The Serbian authorities have previously declared their readiness to resist the introduction of restrictive measures against Russia, in mid-May, the President of the Republic, Aleksandar Vucic, said that Belgrade would do this "as long as it can." He noted that the country is already facing the consequences of its policies.

In early June, Croatian Prime Minister Andrej Plenkovic called on the Serbian authorities to stop "sitting on two chairs" and decide on a position on sanctions. He said that it is time for Belgrade to decide on the choice of a side if it has aspirations for European integration. In response, Vučić noted the mentoring tone of Plenković's statement. The President lamented: “They do not say: I would like our friends from Serbia to be with us in something. Those would be different words."
