US Ambassador Christopher Hill said on Monday that Serbia has to consider whether it can maintain its neutral position on the war in Ukraine and its relationship with Russia.

Speaking at the unveiling of a memorial plaque to former US Ambassador in Yugoslavia George F. Kennan, Hill said that he thinks that Serbia has to consider whether its neutral position is tenable… We have not seen this kind of development since Word War 2, he said, adding that the world has changed in the past two months. We all have to think about where we are, what our position is and where we want to be in the future, he said.

According to the Ambassador, what happened in Ukraine, the brutal assault on that country and killing of civilians is completely unacceptable.

The ambassador said that he isn’t here to hand out advice and that Serbia has to decide whether to impose sanctions on Russia and normalize relations with Pristina on its own. He said the point is that Serbia and Kosovo have to work on resolving problems on their own and move on. He added that he would like to see more progress on the Brussels dialogue.
