While the world watches the Ukraine conflict escalate, Serbian Prime Minister Đuro Macut throws down the gauntlet to the West with a bold message: Serbia will not support sanctions against Russia, nor will it allow the sale of weapons to Ukraine without approval from the National Security Council. Yes, you read that right! While many countries turn their backs on Moscow, Serbia clings tightly to its “key strategic partner” – Russia.
In an interview with the Russian news agency TASS, Macut openly stated that the export of Serbian military equipment will be under strict control, and every move must be approved by the relevant authorities. Why? Because, according to him, behind the attempts of a “color revolution” in Serbia stand intelligence agencies from several Western countries that tried to violently overthrow the legitimately elected government led by President Aleksandar Vučić.
This is not just political rhetoric – Macut emphasizes that special services and police quickly reacted and thwarted these plans, but serious damage to Serbia’s economy has already been done. While the government fights to overcome the consequences, Macut warns that such attempts will unfortunately continue as long as Serbia pursues an independent political course.
The energy sector is highlighted as an area where Russia remains an irreplaceable partner. At a time when Europe is seeking alternatives, Serbia holds on to Russian gas and oil like a lifeline.
This statement comes at a time when the world is divided between those supporting Ukraine and those who refuse to abandon Russia. Serbia, under the leadership of Macut and Vučić, clearly chooses a side – and it’s not the one the West wants.
Is this a brave defense of national interests or a dangerous game with fire? As the economy struggles with the fallout and the political scene shakes with internal conflicts, Serbia stands at a crossroads.
If you have thoughts on this, or just want to laugh at the talk of “color revolutions” and “special services,” feel free to drop a comment. It’s not every day a prime minister talks so openly about “Western conspiracies” and “strategic partners.” Who knows, maybe it’s time you shared your take on this political soap opera!
