Serbian Prime Minister Ana Brnabic said that it is important to support Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic, who is to address the UN General Assembly, because pressure exerted on him and Serbia has never been greater.

Serbia is asked to impose sanctions on Russia and to reach a final agreement on the normalization of relations between Belgrade and Pristina and the two requests are simultaneous, Brnabic told the pro-regime Pink.

In his speech, Vucic will best show the contrast between some countries “in the struggle for the territorial integrity of one internationally recognized state, Ukraine, which we agree with, and to what extent this basic principle of international law did not matter in the case of Serbia,” said Brnabic.

For us, pressure can be counterproductive and the more you pressure us, the more dissuaded we may become, said Brnabic, explaining that this is Vucic’s policy.

Serbia’s presentation at the UN General Assembly has never attracted so much attention, especially since Vucic will speak after the Ukrainian President, said Brnabic.

The Prime Minster said Vucic will be giving an interview Wednesday to the American Newsmax TV, following which he will meet with the Chinese Foreign Minister, and added that the President had some 20 meetings in Tuesday.
