Serbia is ready to join the European Union, but does not want to become part of NATO. This was announced by the President of the country Alexander Vučić during his speech to the Parliament, RTS TV channel reports.
“Serbia is on the European path, and as far as Atlantic integration is concerned, Serbia does not want to join NATO. Serbia wants to zealously guard and strengthen its military neutrality,” Vučić said at a meeting of the National Assembly.
So he responded to the appeal of a representative of the right opposition about the republic’s entry into the North Atlantic Alliance. Vucic has already noted that joining the alliance is impossible and the country intends to maintain military neutrality in the future.
Earlier today, Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov called Russian-Serbian relations promising and said that the Kremlin “is well aware of the unprecedented pressure the Serbian leadership is under from the collective West.”
On March 24, 1999, NATO countries began the bombing of Yugoslavia, which ended on July 10 of the same year. As a result of the alliance’s operation, from 3,500 to 4,000 people were killed, about 10,000 were injured. Since the beginning of the NMD, Serbia has been under pressure from the West to join the anti-Russian sanctions, but Vucic said that Belgrade does not plan to take such a step.
