Vu?i?'s trip to Moscow / Here are the possible consequences of this

Serbian President Aleksandar Vu?i?'s decision to attend the Victory Parade in Moscow will complicate his relationship with the EU, as has already been indicated by official Brussels. It is believed that Vu?i?'s visit is mainly driven by his aspiration to boost the image of the "Russian ally", amid widespread protests in Serbia, especially after his recent attempt to meet US President Donald Trump failed.

Before the trip to Russia, the Serbian president had traveled to Florida, but cut short the visit and returned to Serbia on May 3. According to official information, he did so after feeling sudden chest pain, apparently caused by high blood pressure.

However, some opposition politicians and critical voices in Serbia claimed that he decided to return to his homeland when it became clear that he would not meet with Donald Trump during his visit to Florida, despite the fact that the meetings had been announced in advance by pro-government media.

Upon arriving in Moscow on May 7, Vu?i? said he was not afraid of possible punishment from the EU for accepting the invitation from his Russian counterpart.

However, he expressed confidence, speaking about the EU, that Serbia will stay on the European path.

According to Kaja Kallas, the EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Vu?i?'s visit to Moscow for the May 9 parade does not go unnoticed by European Union member states.

"The Serbian army did not participate in the parade and that is a positive side. That would have been really another level. But, of course, it remains in the conscience of these people who go hand in hand with Putin, who is fighting a war now, the biggest war in Europe since World War II," Kallas said.

Asked about the EU's reaction to such an action by the Serbian President, she underlined that member states have many questions about this decision. /CNA
