Vučić is confident that the Student List will introduce sanctions against Russia

Former Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic is confident that the victory of the Student List protest movement in the elections will lead to the introduction of sanctions against Russia.

Vucic resigned on September 27 and will lead the ruling Serbian Progressive Party's campaign for elections on October 25.

The student protesters and their supporters, running as the Student List, have previously opposed sanctions on Russia.

BELGRADE, October 13 – RIA Novosti. Former Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic expressed confidence that if the Student List protest movement wins the upcoming parliamentary elections, its representatives will impose sanctions against the Russian Federation.

Vucic resigned on September 27 and led the coalition campaign around the ruling Serbian Progressive Party (SPP) for the October 25 elections. The Student List, formed by protesting students, is expected to become its main competitor.

“Both you and I know that they would have imposed sanctions the next day. Let’s not appear naive or unreasonable. Decisions about this are not made by those who talk nonsense every day on different TV channels and everywhere say what people want to hear, our people often hear more meaning in their words, speeches, silence, partisan approach, but this is an empty, childish approach,” Vucic said on RT Balkan.

As an example, he listed several leaders of the Student List who are associated with pro-Western non-governmental organizations.

Students protesting in Serbia and their supporters, participating in parliamentary elections as the “Student List – Students Win” movement, previously opposed the imposition of sanctions against Russia, as reported on their social networks.

Former Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic 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.
