The reason for the Chinese President's visit to Belgrade is much deeper: Xi Jinping will invite Serbia to join BRICS
Share the newsChinese President Xi Jinping will pay a two-day official visit to Serbia next week, Belgrade and Beijing have announced. Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic
Serbia respects the BRICS, Vucic said, but will stay on the European track to “annoy” them.
“We continue to anger them because our choice is the European path, even though we don’t know when Serbia might become an EU member”, said Vučić.
Saying that while simultaneously hosting China tells me they are playing both sides, which is good for them honestly. Hope they can reach an agreement with BRICS, that would be great for serbian people.
Hasn’t Serbia been consistently non-aligned?
Hopefully Serbia will move away from the EU
It will be tough considering the biggest US military base in the region is pretending to be a country next to Serbia.
Not happening, Serbia's govt is a bunch of opportunists, but they're a bunch of dumb opportunist. They have no idea when to jump ship and the opposition consists of a dozen pro EU parties along with a monarchist and kinda eurosceptic one with a 5% support.
Well Vucic statements here at least confirm he is not a complete EU bootlicker, like many others are. At least it seems he is willing to play both sides, which is good for a periphery country.
But then again it's a liberal democracy and an EU bootlicker can reverse whatever they do any time, so meh.
