Zelensky's visit to Serbia is accompanied by many contradictions and divided messages

Ukrainski predsjednik Volodimir Zelenski je posjetio Srbiju u petak, a njegov dolazak bio je prilika za službeni razgovor s srpskim predsjednikom Aleksandarom Vučićem i premijerom Đurkom Macutom. Tema razgovora uključivala je ekonomsku saradnju, odnose s Europom i sigurnosna pitanja. Vučić je naglasio da je posjet prilika za daljnji razvoj odnosa između Srbije i Ukrajine, ali nije spomenuo rusko-ukrajinski rat. Ruski mediji, kroz srpski portal Sputnjik, navode da je posjet Zelenskog rezultat pritiska Europske unije na Beograd, jer je Srbija jedina zemlja u Kijevu koja nije potpisala antirusku deklaraciju. Koalicijski partner Vučića, Aleksandar Vulin, koji ima proruska stajališta, tvrdi da Srbija neće uvoditi vize za ruske građane ni postati dio antiruske koalicije, a desno orijentirane stranke i nacionalni pokreti su posjet smatrani opasnim.

Zelenskyy's visit to Serbia, Russian media reports Vulin's statements: This is pressure and revenge of the European Union

Ukrainski predsjednik Volodimir Zelenski provede dvodnevnu službenu posjet Srbiji, gdje se suspije s predsjednikom Aleksandarom Vučićem i drugim vladnim činovnicima. Tijekom posjeta, ruski mediji, posebno portal Sputnjik, prenose izjave Vučićevog koalicijskog partnera Aleksandra Vulina, koji tvrdi da posjet Zelenskog nije želja građana Srbije, već rezultat pritiska Europske unije na Beograd. Vulin navodi da je Srbija jedina zemlja u Kijevu koja nije potpisala antirusku deklaraciju, što je bio razlog za EU-ov pritisak. U međuvremenu, Vučić naglašava potrebu za daljim razvojem bilateralnih odnosa i suradnje u oblastima zajedničkog interesa, bez spominjanja rusko-ukrajinskog rata.
