Serbia despite visiting Moscow ‘for European Union: Block Chief Costa

European Council chief Antonio Costa on Tuesday stressed that despite visiting the country’s President Moscow last week, Serbia was fully committed to the European Union’s Accession process.Alexander Person attended the May 9 celebrations for 80 years since the victory over Germany, even after the European Union warns that doing so would not be seen favorable.Serbia has been the European Union candidates since 2012, but have maintained a close relationship with Russia since Ukraine’s invasion and refuses to ban, unlike the European Union it expects to join.“We cannot celebrate liberation 80 years ago and not condemn the invasion of a country today,” Costa said at a joint press conference with a person, Serbia knows that on the route of membership of the European Union, it will have to be aligned with the Foreign and Security Policy of the European Union.Vucic stated that Serbia “supports the regional integrity of all countries of the world, including Ukraine” and the European Union membership is the strategic commitment of the country.He said, “Serbia Today and Serbia are on the European path tomorrow. I accept criticisms. Serbia is our way in Europe, this is our goal, this is our political will,” he said.Serbia, most of which is with the European Union, has been on a delicate criterion between Brussels and Moscow for almost three years.Belgrade, which has welcomed hundreds of thousands of Russians since February 2022, is almost completely dependent on Russia for its gas supply and is currently interacting with Moscow on a new multi-year gas deal, as the current agreement is ending in late May.During his visit to Moscow, Vucic highlighted energy talks as an important reason for his visit.The European Union has often expressed concern about the relationship between Serbia and Russia and regularly urged Serbia to align its foreign and security policies.However, the Balkan country has never followed European sanctions against Russia, and many of its ministers have regularly traveled to the Russian sector in recent years.In mid -April, the Enlargement Commissioner Marta Kos called for immediate reform.Belgrade’s expectations of the European Union were “almost identical”, campaigning against institutional corruption as protesters, last year after the fall of the roof of a deadly railway station in Novi Sad city.
