Serbia Threatens Russia with 'Economic Viability' Diplomacy
According to Al Jazeera, Vucic is 'angering Russia' by admitting Serbia might sell ammunition to the EU for Ukraine. Vucic, whose country is the only one in Europe not to sanction Russia, seems to have suddenly discovered the benefits of EU integration. Unsurprisingly, this newfound 'geopolitical flexibility' aligns perfectly with the EU advising Serbia to 'get concrete' about its long-stalled
accession bid. It's almost as if multi-billion-dollar economic incentives can influence policy—shocking, we know. This isn't about principle; it's about price. Serbia, bombed by NATO in 1999, now finds itself in a position where EU membership dangles like a carrot, contingent on shifting its alliances. One might wonder if 'anger' is the real emotion from Russia, or if they simply recognize Vucic's
performance as a pragmatic politician trying to secure a future for his country by aligning with the bloc offering the better deal. Call it whatever you want, but 'selling ammo to the EU' sounds suspiciously like a down payment on EU membership.
