Opposition: Serbia Cannot Align with Russia/China While Taking EU Funds

Borko Stefanović, a prominent opposition figure in Serbia, has sharply criticized President Aleksandar Vučić's foreign policy direction. Stefanović alleges that Vučić is attempting to forge a hybrid model in Serbia, one that aligns with China and Russia while simultaneously seeking financial benefits from the European Union. He declared such a strategy untenable, stating, "This will not be possible."

Stefanović, speaking on behalf of the opposition, characterized the ruling Serbian Progressive Party's foreign policy as lacking substance and marked by a series of failures. He described the party's actions as "incompetent and harmful," culminating in what he termed a "humiliating crawl."

Vučić is trying to create a Chinese-Russian model in Serbia, while receiving European money, and that will not be possible.

The opposition leader's remarks highlight a significant tension in Serbia's geopolitical positioning. The country officially seeks EU membership but maintains close ties with Russia and China, a balancing act that critics argue is becoming increasingly difficult to sustain.

The Serbian Progressive Party has no foreign policy, and a long list of 'complete failures, incompetence, and harmful acts' ended with a humiliating crawl.
