Serbian President: Good relations with EU and Russia
Serbia is on its way to the European Union but it would also like to have good relations with Russia, President Aleksandar Vucic told the Washington Post in an interview which is part of a series on Russia’s global influence across the world, including the Balkans.
“Our country, our Serbia, is on its EU path. Would we like to preserve the best possible relationship with Russia? Yes, we would. Are we >> Pročitaj celu vest na sajtu N1 televizija << going to join NATO or not? No, we are not interested in that. Do we have a good relationship with NATO? Yes, we do. Through [Partnership for Peace] programs, through all the other programs, but we are not willing to join NATO.” Vucic said in the interview.
“Serbia’s position is the only one that it can defend by itself, which means that we are on our EU path, we want to belong to a European type of society. That’s No. 1, something of the biggest significance for us,” the president said and added that membership in the EU will help keep the country stable with reforms implemented in different areas, including the fight against corruption and the rule of law.
The Serbian president said that the Kosovo issue is in all the chapters of the pre-accession talks with the EU. He said that polls show that Serbians would vote to join the EU. “That’s about the rational approach of the Serbian people but if there would be the people’s assessment and people’s estimation on the European policy on Serbia, it is slightly different. People immediately connect the EU to all the pressures that we are facing with Kosovo, and it is the same with Americans,” he said.
Vucic said the attitude towards Russia is different because that country “supports our territorial integrity, which has always been helpful and supportive at the UN Security Council and different institutions and organizations”. He said the rational approach to the EU will not spoil Serbia’s relationship with Russia. “Even when we go to Russia, it does not mean we are leaving our EU path,” he said.
