Pak Sahafat – The President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vucic, said on Monday that the country will independently decide whether or not to join the sanctions against Russia and will not give in to foreign pressure for sanctions against Russia.
According to Pak Sahafat News Agency’s report from “Tass”, he added in response to Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti’s statement that Russia and Serbia will separate from each other only by pressure. As an independent country, we decide on sanctions, and this distinguishes us from Kosovo.
He continued: I wonder how anyone thinks that they have the right to ask any third party to use force and pressure against an independent country, especially when that person violates the UN Charter and violates the territorial integrity of a country.
