Vucic and Dodik at Putin: From Moscow Serbia speaks to Europe
In the midst of unprofitable dissatisfaction, blockades and even marathons of students and high school students in Serbia, six months after the visor of the railway station in Novi Sad collapsed and took the lives of 16 people, President Alexander Vucic is in Russia. He was warned not to do so after three years insisted that he did not meet Russian President Vladimir Putin since his country invaded Ukraine.

In his Thursday program were Kazakhstan President Kasum-Jomart Tokaev and Russian Patriarch Kirill.
It won’t be a nice view for the EU
| It is also concerned in Europe to see every return of Dodik to Moscow, while his campaign to build parallel institutions and disobedience to the weak central government puts the foundations of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Putin is one of the people whom Dodik relies on for symbolic support while remains isolated in the West (somewhat even from the United States); In the case of Vucic, the support goes beyond the symbols, especially since Serbian expression signs were seen in Dodik’s security guards when national authorities in Bosnia tried to arrest him last month. |

Where is Europe
Serbia and « Brotherly Russia » – Relationships are more complicated than it seems
The EU did not specify what the consequences of the visit to Serbia, which has been a candidate for membership for over a decade. However, the negotiations are stagnant. Vucic’s opponents, including civil society, point out that the EU did not respond properly to many thousands of protests – even when in mid -March there were doubts that the largest of them was used sound weapons.
From Moscow Vucic at the same time assured that Serbia would continue to walk the European road. In his words, according to him, the « price » will not pay the Serbian state, but it itself. He promised Putin to go to the parade. And « the promise is something that must be fulfilled when times are difficult. »
