Serbia's position in accordance with international law

Belgrade, 28 May 2022

Prime Minister Ana Brnabic stated today that the geopolitical situation is becoming more and more complicated every day, that the pressures on Serbia are enormous and that Belgrade is not changing its position.

Appearing on Radio and Television of Serbia, Brnabic pointed out that the position of our country is in line with the international legal order and its national interests, and that we are not changing our position.

We are under pressure because we are the only country in Europe that has not imposed sanctions on the Russian Federation, we have additional pressure in the country from people who blame us for not imposing the sanctions, the Prime Minister stated.

I hope that Moscow understands our position and that at least our partners from the Russian Federation, but also the EU, the United States and others, hear us. We are not changing our position. It is the only position in line with international law and does not change in relation to a part of the world or an individual country or the religious and national affiliation of people, she said.

According to her, that is the recognition and inviolability of the territorial integrity of internationally recognised states such as the Republic of Serbia.

Brnabic said that a very important telephone conversation between the presidents of Serbia and Russia, Aleksandar Vucic and Vladimir Putin, is expected tomorrow, regarding the new gas arrangement.

She pointed out that the industry in Serbia has grown, which is why twice as much gas is consumed now than before, adding that the state wants to provide such quantities that the industry can continue to develop.

Answering the question whether American liquefied petroleum gas is a realistic alternative to Russian gas, she said that it is and reminded that Serbia started working on the gas interconnection project in Greece in 2015.
