Balkans | Russia: If Serbia imposes sanctions on Russia, the pressure of the United States on this country will increase

Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova stated that with Serbia imposing sanctions on Russia, US pressure on this country will not end but will only increase.

Zaharova posted on social media that Serbian Economy Minister Rade Basta called on the government to impose sanctions on Russia.

Describing this call as a “strange position”, Zaharova said: “The United States is putting pressure on Serbia, and the Serbian minister is calling on Russia to oppose it. Perhaps it is better for the Serbian minister to speak out firmly against the pressure on his country?”

Zakharova emphasized that Russia, unlike the United States, has always respected Serbia and its people, “With the sanctions imposed on Russia, the pressure of the United States on Serbia will not end, it will only increase.” He rated it.

Serbian Minister of Economy Rade Basta stated that Serbia had paid a heavy price for not imposing sanctions on Russia and said, “I see the kind of pressure being put on Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic. I cannot accept our silence either.” I used this phrase.

Basta called for sanctions against Russia.
