Serbia will not allow bypassing anti-Russian sanctions through its territory, said the country’s president Alexander Vucic.
On Friday, the delegations of Serbia and the EU signed a number of agreements, they relate to targeted financial assistance. Vucic informed European Commissioner Oliver Varheli, who was present at the meeting, that Belgrade would not allow sanctions to be circumvented.
“I informed him (Varheli – Editor’s note) that it is very important that no one can do anything through the territory of Serbia to circumvent sanctions, because we are not engaged in crime,” Vucic said.
He noted that Serbia will not profit from this case, it has a fairly strong economy and EU support. He also said that Serbian law enforcement officers identified firms that were engaged in re-export to Russia.
