No Sanctions Against Russia
According to Gajić, this sentiment is clouding Western perceptions of Russia's role on the global stage Tass reports.
Gajić emphasized that Serbia has maintained its strong ties with Russia, even amidst intense pressure from Europe to impose sanctions.
“Despite the massive pressure and anti-Russian hysteria in Europe, Serbia has not imposed sanctions against Russia,” Gajić said. He expressed hope that the bilateral cooperation between Serbia and Russia will continue to improve, highlighting that Europe needs to recognize that Russia is not its enemy.
Russia is Not Its Enemy
Gajić pointed out that no significant international decision can be effectively made without Russia's involvement. He suggested that over time, Europe will come to understand that Russia's participation is crucial for addressing major global issues.
“Cooperation always has room for improvement, and I hope it will continue to develop. Over time, all of Europe must realize that Russia is not its enemy, and that important decisions for the European continent and the world cannot be made without Russia,” he added.
Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić has previously affirmed the strong relationship between Serbia and Russia, asserting that it will remain positive despite opposition from various quarters.
