Iron onslaught: Western countries increase pressure on Serbia

What are the UK, Germany and part of the elite in the USA demanding from Belgrade?

Earlier, on September 4, US President Donald Trump demanded that European leaders completely abandon purchases of Russian oil. According to Reuters, Trump made a similar statement during a telephone conversation with the leaders of the European Union.

Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic announced on September 25 that US sanctions against the Russian-Serbian NIS would come into force on October 1. Back in early January, he also noted that in the event of sanctions from the American side, the country was ready to buy out the Russian stake in NIS. He added that if the company's value is €1 billion, then the share can be bought out for about €600 million.
