Vucic explained the rejection of sanctions against Moscow by a "moral position"

Serbia does not impose sanctions against Moscow for moral reasons, President Aleksandar Vucic said in an interview with Pink TV channel.

“The moral position of Serbia is most important. Are we making money from this or not? No. Do we have many problems because of this? Yes, we have. Am I sure we'll keep going? No, I'm not sure," he said.

Vučić has repeatedly stated that Serbia is under pressure because of its refusal to impose sanctions against Russia. He said he did not know how long Serbia could resist and admitted that at some point she would have to join the restrictions.

The US Treasury on July 12 imposed sanctions on the head of the Serbian Security and Information Agency, Aleksandar Vulin, a close associate of Vucic. He became the first high-ranking Serbian official to be sanctioned by the US since Aleksandar Vucic took over as President of Serbia in 2017. Washington accused Vulin of helping Russia pursue a policy of destabilizing the situation in the Western Balkans.

Vulin opposes anti-Russian sanctions. In early July, he accused the US of blackmailing Belgrade. First, according to Vulin, the West will demand sanctions from Serbia, then it will demand to “just arm” Ukraine, and then “just give infantry for conflicts” with Russia, the official said.

Vučić, in an interview with Pink, said that the United States would not impose sanctions on Vulin if Serbia agreed to impose restrictions on Russia.
