Cheap talk. He faces massive protests back home and he needs to buy more time with Brussels.

Meanwhile, Belgrade keeps strong ties with Russian intelligence and security, which is all it matters.

Utter garbage news for the Western audience. Vucic is in a deep trouble domestically with massive protests and now he is playing his typical game for Brussels.

Also…He can’t build infrastructure in his country, let alone Ukraine.

Don’t fall for this nonsense.

Mass anti-corruption protests put strain on close European ally of Russia Serbians have been protesting for months over government corruption, demanding more accountability and respect for the rule of law from the Russian-backed President Aleksandar Vucic.

Hundreds of thousands of Serbs protest against the Vucic autocratic regime.

As huge protests continue in Serbia, Russia is warning about “chaos” in Serbia.

Moscow is protecting Vucic.

Don’t forget that Serbia and 🇷🇺 Patrushev pledged to combat color revolutions.

Trump plans to meet with Putin in pursuit of a speedy end to the war in Ukraine.
