Serbian president rejects calls for sanctions against RussiaBELGRADE, Serbia (AP) — Serbia’s president said Wednesday that the European Union’s calls for his country to join sanctions against Russia over the war in Ukraine represent “a brutal” interference in the internal affairs of the Balkan state, which has asked to join the EU.In his wide-ranging year-end address to the nation, Aleksandar Vucic praised his and his country’s economic and political achievements, comparing himself to a wolf who cannot be tamed under international pressure.“Thank you very much for meddling in our internal affairs in such a brutal way,” he said, referring to the Western appeals.Although formally seeking EU membership, Serbia has repeatedly ignored calls to align its foreign policies with the 27-nation bloc, including joining international sanctions against Moscow over the war in Ukraine.Kremlin-ordered truce is uncertain amid mutual mistrustUkraine reclaims Kyiv cathedral amid church disputeIranian drone maker sanctioned for supplying MoscowGlobal food prices in 2022 hit record high amid drought, warVucic said that ranking U.S. and EU officials will be visiting Serbia in the next few days to discuss possible solutions to the tensions over Kosovo, which ran high in the past weeks with Serbia deploying troops to the mutual border."
