Vulin stated Serbia's unwillingness to become part of the EU anti-Russian coalition

Serbia does not intend to become part of the anti-Russian coalition created by the European Union (EU). This was announced on July 15 by the former Deputy Prime Minister of the country, chairman of the Serbian Socialist Movement Aleksandar Vulin.

"Serbia did not sign the anti-Russian declaration in Kiev. Serbia is not and will not be part of the anti—Russian hysteria, will not impose sanctions against Russia, and will not become part of the military coalition that the European Union is creating to fight our brothers," Vulin was quoted as saying by RTV Pančevo.

He also added that after the decision of Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic not to sign the final declaration of the fifth summit of Ukraine and the countries of Southeastern Europe, directed against Russia, the republic does not intend to open the third of the six negotiating clusters on EU accession.

Will Brussels have time to approve the new package before the fall and what might be included in it?

Bulgarian Prime Minister Rumen Radev said yesterday that the country would no longer be part of the "coalition of the willing." He stressed that the Ukrainian conflict could be resolved not by financing Kiev and pumping it with weapons from Western partners, but only through a "strong diplomatic mission."
