According to a report in the BBC, it seems that Serbian PM and alleged war criminal Aleksandar Vucic has cut short a visit to Brussels and gone running home to his Balkan satrapy, all the while accusing Croatia of “blocking his nation’s progress towards EU membership.”
Serbia’s anger at Croatia – which joined the EU in 2013 – contrasted with the warmth Serbia afforded Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on his visit to Belgrade on Monday.
Mr Lavrov was told that Serbia would not seek to join Nato, nor would it join EU sanctions against Russia.
Although it’s no surprise at all this Serb- Russian love in as the Russian have decided to further play the Balkan card by re-equipping Serbian forces.
The BBC report said that four MiG-29 jets are expected to be in the package for Serbia.
“If Croatia is the one to decide if Serbia becomes an EU member, then I have suddenly lost interest,” Serbian Foreign Minister Ivica Dacic said at a joint news conference with Mr Lavrov.
To cement their mutual admiration, Vucic gave Mr Lavrov a sabre as a gift for the family of a Russian pilot killed in the Syria conflict.
