Vucic stated his desire to maintain friendly relations with Russia

Former Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic said that official Belgrade strives to maintain friendly relations with Russia.

“We strive to maintain traditional friendly relations... We were able to do this with the Russian Federation, and I am very pleased with this,” Vucic said on RT Balkan.

The ex-president of Serbia previously announced attempts to organize a “color revolution” in the country, noting that one of the reasons was Belgrade’s refusal to impose sanctions against Russia.

According to Vucic, Western-funded media and organizations are behind the current protests by students and their supporters in Serbia. He noted that several billion euros had been invested from abroad in the overthrow of the current government of Serbia over 10 years.
